In the Outlawries of 1691, he is described on one as "of the city of Dublin," on another, as "of Pennyburn Mill, co. Derry." No other person of his name appears in my whole _Army List_; although the "Diary" preserved in the _Harleian Miscellany_ (old edit., vol. vii. p. 482.) erroneously suggests a subaltern of his name. In the titular Court of St. Germains, two of the name of Sheldon were of the Board of Green Cloth. Dr. Gilbert Sheldon was Archbishop of Canterbury in the middle of the seventeenth century; and the Sheldons are shown by Burke to be still an existing family at Brailes House in Warwickshire, previously in Oxfordshire, and _semble_ in Staffordshire. I have made application on the subject to Mr. Sheldon of Brailes House, the more confidently as the Christian name of "Ralph" is frequent in the pedigree of that family, and Colonel Dominick Sheldon had a brother Ralph; but Mr. Sheldon could not satisfy me. One of the adventurers or soldiers in Cromwell's time, in Ireland, was a William Sheldon; who, on the Restoration, in the royal policy of that day, obtained a patent for the lands in Tipperary, which {402} the usurping powers had allotted for him by certificate. Could Colonel Dominick have been his relative? I pray information on this subject, and any others connected with the _Army List_, with any documentary assistance which, or the inspection of which, the correspondents of "N. & Q." may afford me; and such services will be thankfully acknowledged. If I were aided with such by them, and by the old families of Ireland, the work should be a gem. JOHN D'ALTON. 48. Summer Hill, Dublin. * * * * * QUOTATIONS WANTED. (Vol. ix., pp. 247, 301.) "The knights are dust, Their good swords are rust, Their souls are with the saints, we trust." This seems to be an imperfect recollection of the concluding lines of a short poem by Coleridge, entitled "The Knight's Tomb." (See _Poems_ of S. T. Coleridge: Moxon, 1852, p. 306.) The correct reading is as follows: "The knight's bones are dust, And his good sword rust; His soul is with the saints, I trust." G. TAYLOR. Your correspondent's mutilated version I have seen on a china match-box, in the shape of a Crusader's tomb. C. MANSFIELD INGLEBY. "Of whose omniscient and all-spreading love." These lines are also Coleridge's (_Poems_, &c., p. 30., edit. 1852). He afterwards added the following note on this passage: "I utterly recant the sentiment contained in the lines-- Of whose omniscient and all-spreading love Aught to _implore_ were impotence of mind; it being written in Scripture, '_Ask_, and it shall be given you!' and my human reason being, moreover, convinced of the propriety of offering _petitions_, as well as thanksgivings, to Deity.--S. T. C., 1797." H. G. T. Weston-super-Mare. The line quoted (p. 247.) as having been applied by Twining to Pope's _Homer_, is from _Tibullus_, iii. 6. 56.
