NOTES AND QUERIES. 



193 



In looking through the records of the " English 

 tongue," I have met with the name of only one 

 lady, Catherine Burchier, who was prioress of 

 Buckland in 1524. Any information respecting 

 her history, or that of the knights whose names 

 are recorded in the above list, will be most ac- 

 ceptable. William Winthbop.

DUPORT S LINES TO IZAAK WALTON. 



Sometime since I met with the following epigrams 

 of the learned scholar, divine, and loyalist James 

 Duport, written on the fly-leaf of a copy of his Muscb 

 Suhsecivee, seu Poetica Sti'omata, presented by him 

 to Izaak Walton. I presume that they have never 

 been printed, and that they were written inDuport's 

 own hand. If so, they may be thought worthy of 

 a place in the columns of " N. & Q." They will 

 be read with some interest by those who respect 

 Duport, and love the memory of good old Izaak 

 Walton. I may add, that the autograph of I. W. 

 is in the book, thus : 



"Izaak Walton, 



Given by the Author, 



S" May, 1679."

"Ad virum optimum mihique amicissimura Isaacum 

 Waltonum, de libris a se editis, mihiqvie dono missis, 

 nee non de vita Hookeri, Herbert), et aliorum : 

 Munera magna mihi mittis ; nee mittis in hamo 



Rex Piseatorum sis licet, atque Pater. 

 Mutus ego ut piscis semper ! nunquamne reponam? 



Piscibus immo tuis et tibi mitto Sales : 

 Sed quid pro vitis Sanctorum? mitto Salutem ; 

 Vita eteaim non est vita, Salutis inops.

SHAKSPEAKE CORRESPONDENCE. 



Zachariah Jackson. — "N. & Q." will not, I am 

 sure, refuse to give his due to Zachariah Jackson, 

 the author of Shakspeare' s Genius Justified, by 

 showing to how great an extent the conjectures 

 of Jackson had, by thirtij-four years, anticipated 

 the Notes and Emendations. I subjoin a list of the 

 old corrector's emendations, which are also found 

 in Jackson's work : 



Besides these nine verbatim coincidences, the fol- 

 lowing four are very approximate. 



Taming of the Skreiv, Induction, Sc. 2. : 

 Folios. — " And when he says he is, say that he dreams." 

 Collier MS. — " When he says what he is, say that he 



dreams." — Notes and Emendations, p. 142. 

 Jackson. — "And what he says he is, say that he 



dreams." — Restorations and Illustrations, p. 114. 



Taming of the Shrew, Act II. Sc 1. : 

 Folios. — " No such jade, Sir, as you, if me you mean." 

 Collier MS. — " No such jade to bear you, if me you 



mean." — Notes and Emendations, p. 147. 

 Jackson — " No such jade as you, — hear ! if me you 



mean." — Restorations and Illustrations, p. 1 1 9. 



1 Henr?/ VI., Act V. Sc. 3. : 



Folios. — " Confounds the tongue, and makes the senses 

 rough." 



Collier MS.' — " Confounds the tongue, and mocks the 

 sense of touch." — Notes and Emendations, p. 276. 



Jackson. — " Confounds the tongue, and makes the 

 senses touch." — Restorations and Illustrations, p. 233. 



Cymbeline, Act III. Sc. 4. : 



Folios. — . . . . " Some jay of Italy, 

 Whose mother was her painting, hath betray'd him." 



Collier MS. — "Who smothers her with painting, hath 

 betray'd him." — Notes and Emendations, p. 495. 



Jackson. — " Who smoother was : her painting hath be- 

 tray'd him." — Restorations and Illustrations, p. 375. 



Besides these four emendations, which at any 

 rate are very suggestive of those in Mr. Collier's 

 folio, I beg to call attention to Jackson's defence 

 of Theobald's (and his own) proposition to read 

 untread for unthread, in King John, Act V. Sc. 4., 

 which is strikingly like ]\Ir. Collier's defence of 

 the same reading in the margin of the Folio 1632.
