"To find out a punishment due to the fault Old Pluto had puzzled his brain; But Hell had not torments sufficient he thought, So he gave him his _wife_ back again. But pity succeeding, soon mov'd his hard heart, And, pleas'd with his playing so well, _He took her again_, in reward of his Art; Such power had Music in Hell!" G. M. B. _Flemish Refugees._--In the troubled times of the Reformation, England was not seldom the refuge for Flemings who, for the sake of religion, abandoned their country. Among these was Mr. Joos Tuck, who, according to a consistorial decision of Dec. 14, 1582, was proposed by G. Van Den Haute, then pastor at Sluis, to the brethren of the Flemish Class, since "they had taken knowledge of the sound and good gifts of their brother." He left Sluis soon after, probably in July, 1583, and withdrew to England. I should be glad to learn what befell him there. Peter Lambert was a student of the University of Ghent: though, as far as I am aware, he is not {197} mentioned in Te Water's _History of the Reformed Church and University in Ghent_. On July 21, 1583, a student made known his wish to propose himself as candidate for the ministry; and on August 4 appeared Peter Lambert, student of the University of Ghent, before the consistory, requesting the brethren to grant him the twenty-five guilders which had been promised; because, on account of the troubled state of the country, he wished to flee to England, on which request was decided: "Since a well-known and pious brother, who is compelled to flee, is in need of help, let the deacons and _pensionary_ of the town be addressed thereon." Very probably, therefore, he also took refuge in England. Can any one give me farther information?--From the _Navorscher_. J. H. VAN DALE. _"Sad are the rose leaves," &c._--Can you or any of your correspondents tell me whence come the following lines?-- "Sad are the rose leaves which betoken That there the dead lie buried low; But sadder, when the heart is broken, Are smiles upon the lips of woe." They are quoted from memory from the album of a lady friend. ISELDUNENSIS. _Wanted, the original_ habitat _of the following Sentences_: 1. "Ministeriun circa, non magisterium supra, Scriptures." 2. "Virtus rectorem ducemque desiderat, vitia sine magistro discuntur." 3. "In necessariis unitas, in non-necessariis libertas, in omnibus charitas." 4. "Exiguum est ad legem bonum esse." Wetstein assigns this last to Seneca, _Epist._ 17.; but there is some error. It very likely is in Seneca. 5. "Verbum audimus, motum sentimus, præsentiam credimus, modum nescimus." Durandus is the author. 6. "En rem indignam! nos qui jam tot annos sumus doctores S. Theologiæ, denuo cogimur adire ludos literarios." Spoken by the adversaries of Erasmus. What is the earliest authority for the story of St. John and his partridge?
