Cliai-les Lamb's Epitaph (Vol. iii., p. 322.). — 

 I can explain to Maria S. how this epitaph came 

 to be attributed to AV'ordsworlh. The late lau- 

 reate did write some lines on the occasion of 

 Lamb's death, beginning — 



" To a good man of most dear memory. 

 This stone is sacred." 



They were composed, the author says, 



" With an earnest wish. 

 Though but a doubting hope, that they might serve 

 Fitly to guard the |)recious dust of him, 

 Whose virtues called them forth. That aim is 

 viiased." — Vol. v. p. 141. ed. 1850.

Queher^a and his Epitaph (Vol. Iii., p. 223.). — 

 This cjiitaph is said, ujion the authority of Seffruis, 

 to be upon the king of Spain's preceptor, and to 



be seen at Saragassa. The version of it in my 

 possession differs from that supplied by your cor- 

 respondent, and is as follows : 



" Here lies John Caheca, precentor of my lord the 

 king. When he is admitted to the choir of angels, 

 whose society he will embellish by his powers of song, 

 God shall say to the angels, ' Cease, ye calves ! and let 

 me hear John Cabcja, the precentor of my lord the 

 king.' "

The Frozen Horn (Vol. iii., p. 282.). —The story 

 of the frozen and thawed words in Rabelais' Pan- 

 tagruel, book iv. c. 55. and 56., is borrowed from 

 a passage in Plutarch's Morals, vol. vi. p. 293., 

 Leipsic, Reiske's edition. I beg to subjoin the 

 Latin translation of this fable of so remote a date : 



" Joco enim Antiphanes dixit, in urbe quadam voces 

 illico frigore loci congelare, ac per a;statem, gelu so- 

 luto, denium exaudiri, qua; dicta erant hyeme; ita ille 

 quJE adolescentes c Platone audivissent, aiebat, ple- 

 rosqiie vix tandem ingravescentc a^tate iiitelligcre."

West Chester (Vol. iii., p. 353.). — Joim 

 Francis X. asks " why so designated ? " Camden 

 will answer him. That anticjuary gives tiie 

 Roman, British, and Sa.xon names, and adds : 



" Nos contractius West C/uslcr ab occidentali situ." — 

 Britannia, edit. 1607, p. 458. 



But X. adds :
