NOTES AND QUERIES. 



511 



ginal ; were it not for the arms of Canteloupe, I 

 think the long disputed point would now be set- 

 tled. I believe it is not known how the family 

 acquired these arms. If honey came out of a lion, 

 why might not a fabulous lily grow out of a 

 leopard's head ? A legend to this effect may have 

 existed, and many heraldic bearings arose from 

 •uch fables. 



Would C. H. P. oblige me by saying where the 

 lists of arms to which he refers, as being borne 

 during the Crusades, are to be found ? The in- 

 formation would, no doubt, be gratefully received 

 by other readers of "N. & Q." A good list of 

 old rolls of arms, stating where they may be found 

 in print and MSS., would be acceptable to many.

" CABMINA QUADEAGESIMALIA," ETC. 



(2"'i S. ii. 312. 355.) 



I find the following particulars with reference 

 to one or two of the authors of the Carminn Qua- 

 dragesimolia, in an edition of the Latin Poems of 

 Vincent Bourne, published by Pickering in 1840, 

 and edited by the Rev. John Mitford : 



"John Wigan " (Wigan, jun., I conjecture, in B. N.C.'s 

 list of the authors of the 1st vol.) " a physician, editor of 

 Aretceus, and of Dr. Freind's Works, died in Jamaica, 

 1739. There are several copies of verses by J. and G. 

 Wigan in the Carmina Quadragesimalia. David Gregory" 

 (Gregory in B. N. C.'s list of 1st vol.), " Professor of 

 Modern Historv and Languages, Canon of Christ Church, 

 1736; Canon of Carlisle, 1736; Dean, 1756; Master of 

 Sherborne (or Sherburn) Hospital, 1759; son in the law 

 to the late Duke of Kent, died 1797." 



These two, with Salusbury Cade (author of 

 poems 8. 52. 165.) and George Toblett, were 

 elected to Ch. Ch. from Westminster in 1714, the 

 same year that Vincent Bourne went to Trinity 

 College, Cambridge. 



I have carefully looked over the notes ap- 

 pended to this edition of V. Bourne's Poems, ex- 

 pecting to be able to find the names of some authors, 

 of those contributions which we have not yet been 

 able to assign, but fruitlessly. However, Me. 

 Gunner's and B. N. C.'s lists are corroborated, 

 for I find there '' Thomas " named as the author 

 of No. 151. in vol. i., and of Xo. 20. in vol. ii. — 

 Adams (and Smith) of No. 43., vol. i. ; Prescott of 

 No. 168., vol. i., and Freind of No. 58., vol. ii. 

 (Query, Is this name Freind or Friend?) 



But copies must be in existence, as Mb. Gun- 



ner observes, containing the names of all the 

 contributors. I may here remark that the emi- 

 nent Lord Mansfield, — " Murray once so long his 

 country's pride," — is supposed to have written 

 several. I quite coincide in his desire that some 

 publisher would bring out a new edition of these 

 delightful poems (e. g. in a form like the Sabrinee 

 Corolla, or Arundines Cami, illustrated with 

 notes) ; it is indeed surprising how few people 

 have read them at the present day. Not only 

 are they beautiful as regards elegance' of compo- 

 sition, but interesting from their numerous re- 

 ferences to the events, manners, and customs of 

 the times when they were written, carrying one 

 back to the days of the Spectator and Tatler. I 

 transcribe one, as a comment on the Note, — - 

 " Hoops V. Crinoline," (2""* S. ii. 426.) : 



"An viventia habeant cerium terminum Magnitudinisf 



" Ut simili socias exsequet mole puellas, 



Mille dolos versat pectore macra Cloe. 

 Multiplicem vario tumidam subtemine vestem, 



Expansamque habili comparat orbe stolam. 

 Stant terno ceti ossa gradu, terno ordine funes, 



Staminaque undantes explicitura sinus 

 Hac sub veste Cloe, et tanto circundata gyro, 



Exultat prandi pinguior ire Lyce. 

 Magna quidem incedis, magnse virgo incola pallse, 



At spatiosa exis veste pusilla Chloe." 



Vol. i. p. 129. 



There is again another beautiful collection of 

 Latin poetry published in the last century, viz. 

 the Selecta Poemata Anglorum, in 3 vols, printed 

 in 1774 and 1776, containing effusions by many 

 eminent men, amongst whom may be enumerated 

 Bp. Lowth*, Christopher Smart, Gray, Vincent 

 Bourne, and numerous others. This work, too, 

 is becoming very scarce. Names are not, how- 

 ever, appended to all the compositions, though 

 doubtless their authors were well known at the 

 time. In the second vol. is " Muscipula auctore 

 E. Holdsworth, Coll. Magd., Oxon.," originally, I 

 suppose, published by Edmund Curll in 1709, " ad 

 insigne Pavonis extra Temple Bar." (See " N. & 

 Q.," 2"'^ S. ii. 303.) Oxoniensis. 



I am now enabled to furnish Mb. Gunner with 

 the following variations taken from another copy 

 of vol. ii., which has come under my notice. I will 

 call Mr. Gunner's copy A, my own B, and the 

 third copy C.
