"These pointed spires that wound the ambient sky." Prior's _Poems_: Power, vol. iii. p. 94., Edin. 1779. In Shakspeare we find: "Yon towers, whose wanton tops do buss the clouds." _Troilus and Cressida_, Act IV. Sc. 5. The idea is traceable in Virgil's description of "Fame" or "Rumour" in the 4th Æneid: "... caput inter nubila condit." J. W. FARRER. _Dr. Eleazar Duncon_ (Vol. ix., p. 56.).--D. D. will find some mention of Dr. Duncon in a correspondence between Sir Edward Hyde and Bishop Cosin, printed among the _Clarendon State Papers_ (ed. Oxford, vol. iii., append. pp. ci. cii. ciii.), from which it appears that, in 1655, Dr. Duncon was at _Saumur_; where also Dr. Monk Duncan, a Scotch physician, was a professor (Conf. note _a_, p. 375. of Cosin's _Works_, vol. iv., as published in the Anglo-Catholic Library). I regret that I cannot furnish D. D. with the when and where of Dr. Duncon's death. J. SANSON. _"Marriage is such a rabble rout"_ (Vol. iii., p. 263.).-- "Marriage is such a rabble rout, That those that are out would fain get in, And those that are in would fain get out." I do not think it is against the rules of "N. & Q." for any Querist to put a _rider_ on any of his own Queries. In a volume entitled _The Poetical Rhapsody_, by Francis Davidson, edited, with memoirs and notes, by Nicholas H. Nicolas, London, Pickering, 1826, under the head of "A Contention betwixt a Wife, a Widow, and a Maid," p. 21., occur the following lines: "_Widow._ Marriage is a continual feast. _Maid._ Wedlock, indeed, hath oft compared been To public feasts, where meet a public rout, Where they that are without would fain go in, And they that are within would fain go out," &c. This piece is signed "Sir John Davis." S. WMSON. _Cambridge Mathematical Questions_ (Vol. ix., p. 35.).--IOTA is informed that the questions set at the examination for honours, are annually published in the _Cambridge University Calendar_. He should consult the back volumes of that work, which he will probably find in any large provincial library. These questions, with solutions at length, are also annually published by the Moderators and Examiners in one quarto volume. All the Senate House examination papers are annually published by the editor of the _Cambridge Chronicle_, in a supplement to one of the January numbers of that periodical. C. MANSFIELD INGLEBY. P.S.--As I write from memory, I may have been guilty of some slight inaccuracy in details.
