NOTES AND QUERIES. 
Lond §, No 25,, June 21. 956, 
“ Zundy,” an Opera. — Can you inform me who 
is the author of Zundy, an opera, which was in 
rehearsal at the Bristol Theatre in 1840? The 
music was composed by Mr. Cornelius Bryan, 
organist of St. Mary Redcliff, Bristol, who died 
March 18, 1840. R. J. 
“ Jephtha,” a Sacred Tragedy.— Who is the 
author of Jephiha, a sacred tragedy, published by 
Caines, Halkin Street. By a Lady. The profits 
to be applied to the fund for building a new 
church. R. J. 
The Old Hundredth, by whom composed ? — In 
the account of the ‘‘ Meeting of the Charity Chil- 
dren,” in Saturday's Zimes, I saw it stated the 
tune of the “Old Hundredth” was composed in 
the first half of the sixteenth century, by Claude 
Goudemel, a Frenchman. Adding, that “in 
France the tune is utterly unknown, or at least 
unremembered.” Never having heard it attri- 
buted to a Frenchman before, perhaps some of 
your correspondents can inform me if this account 
is correct ? and if not, who was the composer ? 
Easpy. 
Wilkie MSS. — Could any of the readers of 
“N. & Q.” give me any information regarding the 
MSS. of W. Wilkie, author of the Epigoniad ? 
In the “Life of Wilkie,” prefixed to his poems 
(Anderson’s British Poets, vol. xi.), it is said that 
his MSS. were left to the care of Mr. Liston. 
That gentleman, if I mistake not, was minister 
of Aberdour, in Fifeshire, about the end of last 
century. R. J. 
Glasgow Plays. — Could any of the readers of 
“N. & Q.,” acquainted with the history of the 
Scottish stage, give me any information regarding 
the authors of the following Glasgow plays ? 
1. The Genius of Glasgow, a masque, acted 1792, 
for the benefit of Mr. Stephen Kemble. 2. Gilas- 
gow Green, or a Trip to Loch Lomond, a farce, in 
one act; to be performed June 2, 1798, for the 
benefit of Mrs. Kemble. 38. The Daft Man and 
his Twa Guid Wives, a comic interlude; to be 
performed June 4, 1803,-for the benefit of Mr. 
Bell. This piece is said to have been wyitten by 
a Dr. Madden. 4. Spanish Patriotism; or, French 
Treachery Defeated, 1 dramatic piece; to be per- 
formed July 25, 1808, for Mr. Talbot's benefit. 
5. The Portuguese Wife, an interlude ; to be per- 
formed August 14, 1811, for the benefit of Miss 
Dunean. I do not think any of these plays are 
noticed in the Biographica Dramatica, with the 
exception of the first-named. R. J. 
Geranium. — May I ask any of your kind 
readers, who are learned in the matter, to inform 
me what is this flower (red, scarlet, white, or any 
colour) the emblem for?, I seek this information 
for a poetical purpose. W. H. P.

Author of the “ Cyprianic Age.” —It would 
favour me to learn from any correspondent of 
“N. & Q.” the name of a writer who styles him- 
self “ By the Author of the Cyprianic Age.” He 
assumes this in a work by him: 
“The Fundamental Charter of Presbytery as it has 
been lately established in the Kingdom of Scotland, Ex- 
amin’d and Disprov’d by the History, Records, and Pub- 
lick Transactions of our Nation. London: printed for C. 
Brome at the Gun, at the West End of St. Paul’s Church- 
yard, 1697, 8vo. pp. 422., with pp. 178. of a “ Preface.” 
As an Episcopalian disputant, and likely some 
relic of the displaced church, he does all his power 
to demolish G. R. (Gilbert Rule, who was Prin- 
cipal of the University of Edinburgh), the “ Vin- 
dicator of the Kirk,” and brings forward much 
interesting information, local and. historical, as his 
weapons. G. N. 
[The author of the Cyprianic Age is John Sage, one of 
the first bishops consecrated after the Church in Scotland 
was deprived of its temporalities in 1689. He was ap- 
pointed to the See of Edinburgh, and consecrated Jan. 25, 
1705, by Bishops Paterson, Rose, and Douglas; but sur- 
vived his elevation little more than five years, dying in 
1711. His work, The Fundamental Charter of Presbytery, 
was republished in 1844 by the Spottiswoode Society. In 
1714 was published, anonymously, An Account of the Life 
and Writings of Bishop Sage; but it was written by 
Bishop John Gillan. See also Russell’s edition of Keith’s 
Scottish Bishops, p. 518., for a biographical notice of 
Bishop Sage, and Watt’s Bibliotheca for a list of most of 
his works. ] 
Passage in “ All's Well that Ends Well.” — 
‘Our own love waking cries to see what’s done, 
While shameful hate sleeps out the afternoon.” 
Act V. Sc. 3. 
These lines are not yet very clear. Is Johnson 
right in calling them an interpolation of a player ? 
or what is the sense of these lines, if they are not 
nonsense ? E. 
Berlin. 
[ Mr. Singer, in his recently published edition of Shak- 
speare, has the following note: “This obscure couplet 
seems to mean that ‘Our love awaking to the worth of 
the lost object too late laments; our shameful hate or 
dislike having slept out the period when our fault was 
remediable.’ Mason proposed to read old for own.” 
Mr. Collier, in his Notes and Emendations from the Old 
Corrector, tells us (p. 168.) that these two lines are erased, 
“ giving some countenance to Johnson’s hope that ‘they 
were an interpolation of a player,’ though we believe it to 
be an inexplicable corruption.” ] 
Lord Byron's Mother.—Who was Miss Ka- 
tharine Gordon, second wife to John Byron, Esq., 
and mother of Lord Byron the poet? Patonce, 
[Miss Catherine Gordon was the only child and heiress 
of George Gordon of Gight, a descendant of Sir William 
Gordon, who was the third son of the Earl of Huntley, by 
Princess Jane, daughter of James I. of Scotland. ]
