POPIANA. 



In the year 1628 several French vessels were 

 seized in the ports of Waterford, Kinsale, Dingle, 



Pope's ^^ Ethic Epixdes." — I solicit the early 

 attention of my fellow-contributors to "N. & Q." 

 to the following Query. 



In Nichols's Anecdotes of Literature, vol. v. 

 p. 578., it is stated that in 1742 Warburton 

 edited for Pope his Ethic Epistles, with his own 

 commentary. Is any copy of that publication 

 extant ? I doubt any of that date's having ever 

 existed. C. 



Anecdotes of Pope. — As you inserted the anec- 

 dote of Johnson which I lately sent you, perhaps 

 you will give admission to the following anecdotes 

 of Pope from the Town and Country Magazine 

 for May, 1769? I believe it contains the earliest 

 information we have as to the precise place of the 

 poet's birth. What is known of his tragedy of 

 Timoleon ? are any portions in existence ?

" Some authentic Anecdotes of Mr. Pope, never 

 before in print : 



" Mr. Pope was born in Lombard Street, Lon- 

 don, in a house where a few years ago resided 

 Mr. Morgan, an apothecary. 



" Pope, when very young, was introduced as^ a 

 maker of verses to Dryden, who gave him a shil- 

 ling for the version of ' Pyramus and Thisbe.' 



" Pope wrote his Ode on Music at the desire 

 and instigation of Steele, who used to prefer it 

 to Dryden's : it was set to music by Dr. Green. 



"Pope spent some time in writing a tragedy 

 called Timoleon, but did not succeed in the at- 

 tempt."
