FIVE QUERIES. 
1. Lines by Sir John Suckling. —Is Sir John 
Suckling, or Owen Feltham, the real author of 
the poem whose first verse runs thus :— 
* When, dearest, I but think on thee, 
Methinks all things that lovely be 
Are present, and my soul delighted : 
For beauties that from worth arise, 
Are like the grace of deities, 
Still present with us though unsighted.” 
I find it in the twelfth edition of Feltham’s 
Works, 1709, p. 593., with the following title :— 
“ This ensuing copy the late Printer hath been 
pleased to honour, by mistaking it among those of the 
most ingenious and too early lost, Sir John Suckling.” 
I find it also in the edition of Suckling’s Works 
published at Dublin, 1766. As I feel interested 
in all that relates to Suckling, I shall be glad to 
have the authorship of this short poem rightly 
assigned. 
2. What is the origin and exact meaning of the 
phrase “Sleeveless errand”? It is mentioned 
as late even as the last century, by Swift, in his 
poem entitled Reasons for not building at Drapier’s 
Fill : — 
«* Who send my mind as I believe, less 
Than others do on errands sleeveless.” 
3. What is the origin and derivation of the 
word “Trianon,” the name of the two palaces, 
Le Grand and Le Petit, at Versailles? and why 
was it applied to them ? 
' 4, What is the correct blazon of the arms of 
Godin; with crest and motto? I have seen an 
imperfect drawing of the arms, Party per fess, 
a goblet transpierced with a dagger. 
5. Whose is the line, 
«“ With upward finger pointing to the sky.” 
IT have heard it generally referred to Goldsmith, 
but cannot find it. Henry Kersey. 
Corpus Christi Hall, Maidstone, April 15. 1850. 
QUERIES PROPOSED, NO. I. 
The non-appearance of my name as a querist 
has been rather fortuitous, and it shall now be made 
evident that I am neither so rich in materials, nor 
80 proud in spirit, as to decline such assistance as 
may be derived from the information and courtesy 
of other contributors to the ““Nores AND QUERIES.” 
1. Did the following critical remarks on Shak- 
spere, by Edward Phillips, appear verbatim in the 
Thesaurus of J. Buchlerus, 1669 ? 
The Bodleian library has the London edition of 
1636; and the British Museum that of 1652. 
Wood cites an edition of 1669. I transcribe from 
that of 1679. 
“ Hoe seculo [se. temporibus Elizabethe regine et 
Jacobi regis] floruerunt — Gulielmus Shaesperus, qui 
preter opera dramatica, duo poematia Lucretie stuprum 
a Tarquinio, et Amores Veneris in Adonidem, lyrica 
carmina nonnulla composuit: videtur fuisse, siquis 
alius, re vera poeta natus, Samuel Daniel non ob- 
scurus hujus etatis poeta, ete. 
* * * Ex eis qui dramaticé scripserunt, primas sibi 
vendicant Shacsperus, Jonsonus et Fletcherus, quorum 
hic facunda et polita quadam familiaritate sermonis, 
ille erudito judicio et usu veternm authorum, alter 
nativa quadam et poetica sublimitate ingenii excelluisse 
videntur. Ante hos in hoe genere pocseos apud nos 
eminuit nemo. Pauci quidem antea scripserunt, at 
parum fceliciter; hos autem tanquam duces itineris 
plurimi saltem 2zmulati sunt, inter quos preter Sher- 
leium, proximum a supra memorato triumyiratu, Su- 
clingium, Randolphium, Davenantium et Carturitium 
— enumerandi veniunt Ric, Bromeus, Tho. Heivodus,” 
ete. 
2. What are the contents of a work entitled, 
Schaubiine CEnglifcher und Fransofifcer 
Comeedianfen, printed before 1671? 
This work is recorded, but without a date, in 
the Historia literaria of Simon Paulli, which was 
printed at Strasbourg in 1671. A statement of 
its contents would be very acceptable to myself, 
and to other admirers of our early dramatic lite- 
rature. 
3. Who is the fortunate possessor of the Lives 
and characters of the English dramatick poets with 
the marginal marks of Garrick ? 
The copy in question was sold with the unre- 
served books of Garrick in 1823, No. 1269. It 
contained this note :— 
«“ All the plays marked thus * in this catalogue, I 
bought of Dodsley. Those marked thus O, I have 
added to the collection since. D, G.” 
Each of the above queries would have admitted 
further remarks, but I wish to set an example of 
obedience to the recent editorial injunction on 
brevity. Boxron Corney. 
MINOR QUERIES. 
Elizabeth and Isabel.—“ A. C.” inquires whether 
these names are not varied forms of the same name, 
and if so, what is the common origin of the two? 
Camden, in his Remains, has — 
« Evizasetn, Heb. Peace of the Lord, or quiet rest 
of the Lord, the which England has found verified in 
the most honoured name of our late sovereign. Man- 
tuan, playing with it, maketh it Eliza-bella; and of 
Isazet he says ‘ The same with Elizabeth, if the Spa- 
niards do not mistake, which always translate Elizabeth 
into Isabel, and the French into Isabeau.’”
