With the regard to the last stanza of the epitaph, its meaning is certainly involved in some degree of obscurity, though it is, I think, hardly to be charged with irreverence, according to the opinion of your correspondent "S.W." (No. 10. p. 150.). By the words _trembling hope_, there can be no doubt, that Petrarch's similar expression, _paventosa speme_, quoted in Mason's note, was embodied by the English poet. In the omitted version, mentioned in the beginning of this notice, the epitaph is rendered into Alcaics. The concluding stanza is as follows:-- "Utra sepulti ne meritis fane, Et parce culpas, invide, proloqui, Spe nunc et incerto timore Numinis in gremio quiescunt." ARCHÆUS. Wiesbaden, Feb. 16. 1850. _Cromwell's Estates_ (No. 18. p. 277., and No. 21. p. 339.).--I am much obliged to "SELEUCUS" for his answer to this inquiry, as far as regards the seignory of Gower. It also throws a strong light on the remaining names; by the aid of which, looking in Gloucestershire and Monmouthshire, I have identified _Margore_ with the parish of Magor (St. Mary's), hundred of Caldecott, co. Monmouth: and guess, that for Chepstall we must read _Chepstow_, which is in the same hundred, and the population of which we know was stout in the royal cause, as tenants of the Marquis of Worcester would be. Then I guess Woolaston may be _Woolston_ (hundred of Dewhurst), co. Gloucester; and Chaulton, one of the _Charltons_ in the same county, perhaps _Charlton Kings_, near Cheltenham; where again we read, that many of the residents were slain in the civil war, _fighting on the king's side_. This leaves only Sydenham without something like a probable conjecture, at least: unless here, too, we may guess it was miswritten for Siddington, near Cirencester. The names, it is to be observed, are only recorded by Noble; whose inaccuracy as a transcriber has been shown abundantly by Carlyle. The record to which he refers as extant in the House of Commons papers, is not to be found, I am told. Now, if it could be ascertained, either that the name in question had been Cromwell's, or even that they were a part of the Worcester estates, before the civil war, we should have the whole list cleared,--thanks to the aid so effectually given by "SELEUCUS'S" apposite explanations of one of its items. Will your correspondents complete the illustrations thus well begun? V. Belgravia, March 26. * * * * * MISCELLANIES.
