"To live indeed is to be again ourselves; which being not only a hope, but an evidence in noble believers, it is all one to lie in St. Innocent's churchyard as in the sands of Egypt; ready to be anything in the ecstasy of being ever, and as content with six feet as the moles of Adrianus." "Tabesne cadavera solvat, An rogus, haud refert."--_Lucan._ How fine also is that philosophical sentiment of Lucan: "Victurosque Dei celant, ut vivere durent, Felix esse mori." Can any of your correspondents say in what work the following analogous passage occurs, and who is the author of it? The stamp of thought is rather of the philosophic pagan than the Christian, though the latinity is more monkish than classic: "Emori nolo, sed me esse mortuum, nihil curo." J. L. Dublin. These notes remind my parishioners of an epitaph on a child in Morwenstow churchyard: "Those whom God loves die young! They see no evil days; No falsehood taints their tongue, No wickedness their ways! "Baptized, and so made sure To win their blest abode; What could we pray for more? They die, and are with God!" R. H. MORWENSTOW. _Shelley's "Prometheus Unbound"_ (Vol. ix., p. 351.).--I offer a conjecture on the meaning of the obscure passage adduced by J. S. WARDEN. It seems that Shelley intended to speak of that peculiar feeling, or sense, which affects us so much in circumstances which he describes. With the slight alterations indicated by Italics, his meaning I think will be apparent; though in his hurry, or inadvertence, he has left his lines very confused and ungrammatical. "Who made that sense which, when the winds of spring _Make_ rarest visitation, or the voice Of one beloved _is_ heard in youth alone, Fills the faint eyes with falling tears," &c. F. C. H. "_Three Crowns and a Sugar-loaf_" (Vol. ix., p. 350.).--The latter was perhaps originally a mitre badly drawn, and worse copied, till it received a new name from that it most resembled. The proper sign would be "The Three Crowns and a Mitre," equivalent to "The Bishop's Arms:" if Franche was in the diocese of Ely, or Bristol, the reference would be clearer. Similar changes are known to have happened. G. R. YORK. To the inquiry of CID, as to the meaning of the above sign of an inn, I answer that there can be little doubt that its original meaning was the Pope's tiara. F. C. H.
