 follows : —

There is no proof that Inigo Jones's tomb now 

 occupies its original site. The statement that 

 Chapman was buried on the south side of the 

 church is, I believe, mere conjecture.

Shakspeare and Geoi^e Herbert. — Your cor- 

 respondent D. S. (Vol. ii., p. 263.) has pointed out 

 two illustrations to Shakspeai-e in George Her- 

 bert's poems. The parallel passages bet^veen the 

 two poets are exceedingly numerous. There are 

 one or two which occur to me on the instant : — 



The Church Porch : 



" In time of service, seal up both thine eyes. 

 And send them to thy heart ; that, spying sin. 

 They may weep out the stains, by theiu did rise." 



Cf. Hamlet, III. 4. : 



" O Hamlet, speak no more ; 

 Thou turnst mine eyes mto my very soul. 

 And there I see such black and grained spots 

 As will not leave their tinct." 



Gratefulness : 



" Thou, that hast given so much to me. 

 Give one thing more, a grateful heart." 



Cf. Second Ft. Henry Sixth, I. i, : 



" O Lord, that lends me life. 

 Lend me a heart replete with thankfulness ; 

 For Thou hast given me, in tliis beauteous face, 

 A world of eartldy blessings to my soul." 



The Answer : 



" All the thoughts and ends 

 Which my fierce youth did bandy, fall and ttow 

 Like leaves about me, or like summer friends, 

 Flies of estate and sunshine." 



Cf. Troil. and Cressida, III. 3.: 



" Men, like butterflies, 

 Sliow not their mealy wings but to the summer ; 

 And not a man, for being simply man, 

 Hath any honour." 



Also, Third Pt. Henry Sixth, II. 6. : 



" The common people swarm like summer flies. 

 And whither fly the gnats, but to the sun? 

 And who shines now, but Henry's enemies?"

Old Dan Tucker. — In a little book entitled A 

 Thousand Facts in the Histories of Devon and Corn- 

 wall, p. 50., occurs the following passage : 



" The first governor [of Bermuda] was a Mr. Moore, 

 who was succeeded by Captain Daniel Tucker." 



Does this throw any light on the popular negro 

 song — 



" Out o' de way, old Dan Tucker," &c.?

Lord John Townsend. — I have a copy of the 

 Rolliad, with the names of most of the contributors, 

 taken I'rom a copy belonging to Dr. Lawrence, the 

 editor of the volume, and autiior of many of the 

 articles. In the margin of " Jekyll," lines 73. to 

 100. are stated to be "inserted by Tickle ;" and 

 lines 156. to the end, as " altered and enlarged by 

 Tickle :" and at the end is the following note : — 



" There are two or three other lines in different parts 

 of the foregoing eclogue, which were altered, or inserted 

 by Tickle — chiefly in the connecting parts. The first 

 draft (which was wholly Lord John Townsend's) was 

 a closer parody of Virgil's 18th eclogue; especially in 

 the beginning and conclusion, in the latter of which 

 only Jekyll was introduced as 'the poet.' 



" Tickle changed the plan, and made it what it is. 

 The title (as indeed the principal subject of the eclogue) 

 was in consequence altered from ' Lansdown ' to 

 'Jekyll.' The poetry and satire are certainly enriched 

 by Tickle's touches ; but I question whether the 

 humour was not more terse and classical, and the sub- 

 ject more just, as the poem originally stood." — L. 



Probationary Odes No. XII. is by " Lord John 

 Townsend." 



" Three or four lines in the last stanza, and perhaps 

 one or two in some of the former, were inserted by 

 Tickle." — !-. 



Dialogue between a certain Personage and hig 

 ]\Iinister (p. 442. of the 22ud edition) is by " Ld. 

 J. T." 



A new ballad, Billy Eden, is by " Ld. J. T., 

 or Tickle." 



Ode to Sir Elijah Irapey (p. 503.) : 

 " Anonymous — 1 believe L"^. J. T." — L. 

 Ministerial undoubted Facts (p. 511.): 

 " Lord J. Townsend — I believe." — L, 



W. C. Teevelyan. 



Croker's Boswell (Edit. 1847, p. 721.). — Mr. 

 Croker cannot discover when a good deal of inter- 

 course could have taken place between Dr. John- 

 son and the Earl of Slielburne, because " in 1765, 

 wiien Johnson engaged in jjolitics with llamillon,
