Some readers of "NOTES AND QUERIES" may be interested in a reading of a few lines in this poem which varies from that given in Pickering's edition of the _Poems_, 1844. In that edition the verses I refer to stand thus (p. 69): "For in his own, and in his Father's might, The Saviour comes! While as the Thousand Years Lead up their mystic dance, the Desert shouts! Old Ocean claps his hands! The mighty Dead Rise to new life, whoe'er from earliest time With conscious zeal had urged Love's wondrous plan, Coadjutors of God." I happen to be in possession of these lines as originally written, in Coleridge's own hand, on a detached piece of paper. It will be seen that they have been much altered in the printed edition above cited. I am now copying from Coleridge's autograph: "For in his own, and in his Father's Might, Heaven blazing in his train, the SAVIOUR comes! To solemn symphonies of Truth and Love The THOUSAND YEARS lead up their mystic dance. Old Ocean claps his hands, the Desert shouts, And vernal Breezes wafting seraph sounds Melt the primaeval North. The Mighty Dead Rise from their tombs, whoe'e[r] from earliest time With conscious zeal had aided the vast plan Of Love Almighty." The variations of the printed poem from this MS. fragment appear to me of sufficient importance to warrant my supposition that many readers and admirers of Coleridge may be glad to have the original text restored.

The Lamas are extremely superstitious, and pretend to magic. Amber was in high repute as a charm during the plague of London, and was worn by prelates of the Church. John Baptist Van Helmont (_Ternary of Paradoxes_, London, 1650) says, that "A translucid piece of amber rubbed on the jugular artery, on the hand wrists, near the instep, and on the throne of the heart, and then hung about the neck," was a most certain preventative of (if not a cure for) the plague; the profound success of which Van Helmont attributes to its magnetic or sympathetic virtue.

One which I purchased a few years ago of a cottager at Shotover, in Oxfordshire, has the royal arms surmounted by C. R., and surrounded by "FEARE GOD HONNOR Y^E KING, 1662." The lid and pan are of brass, the handle of iron. E. B.
