NOTES AND QUERIES. 



[No. 177. 



and Lxvii. stanzas of Lis Treatie of Warres, and 

 Are as follows : 



LXVI. 



•<' God and the world they worship still together, 

 Draw not their lawes to him, but his to theirs, 

 Untrue to both, so prosperous in neither. 

 Amid their own desires still raising feares : 

 Unwise, as all distracted powers be. 

 Strangers to God, fooles in humanitie. 



I.XV1I. 



*' Too good for great things, and too great for good, 

 Their princes serve their priest, yet that priest is 

 Growne king, even by the arts of flesh and blood," &c. 

 Workes, p. 82. : Loudon, 1633, 8vo. 



As for the last line of the quotation : 



" While still ' I dare not' waits upon ' I would,' ", 



it smacks very strongly o^ Macbeth (Act I. Sc. 7.), 



And " the poor cat i'th adage : " 



" Catus amat pisees, sed non vult tingere plantas." 



Rt. 



Warmington. 



Dreng (Vol. vii., p, 39.)- — Dreng is still the 

 Danish term for a servant or a boy : their present 

 station in society could perhaps be only found by 

 a correspondence with Copenhagen ,• and would 

 then possibly give as little elucidation of their 

 former social position as an explanation of our 

 modern villain Avould throw any light upon the 

 Tillani of Domesday Booh. William Bell. 



17. Gower Place. 



Meals (Yol. vil., p. 208.). — In Celtic, the word 

 Meall means any rising ground of a round form, 

 such as a low hillock ; and the name of Mealls 

 may have been given to sand-banks from having a 

 resemblance to small hills at low water. 



Fbas. Ckossley. 



Along the sea-margin of the tongue of land be- 

 tween the rivers Mersey and Dee, the sand has 

 been thrown up in domes. Two little hamlets 

 built among those sand-hills are called North and 

 South Meols. J. M. N. 



Liverpool. 



Richardson or Murphy (Vol. vli., p. 107.). — I 

 possess a copy of Literary Relics of the late Joseph 

 Richardson, Esq,^ formerly of St. John's College, 

 Cambridge, Sfc, 4to. : London, 1807. Prefixed, 

 is a line engraving by W. J. Newton, from a 

 painting by M. A. Shee, Esq., R.A. This is a sub- 

 scriber's copy, and belonged as such to one of my 

 nearest relatives. The inscription at the bottom 

 of the plate is the same as that mentioned by your 

 correspondent ; and I cannot but think the por- 

 trait is really that of J. Richardson. The book 

 was published by RIdgwav, No. 170. Piccadilly.
