"Cor linguae foederat naturae sanctio, Tanquam legitimo quodam connubio; Ergo cum dissonant cor et locutio, Sermo concipitur ex adulterio." Mr. Wright's only source quoted for the poem is MS. Cotton, Vespas, E. xii. Of its authority he remarks (Preface, p. xx.), that the writer's name was certainly Walter, but that he appears to have lived at Wimborne, with which place Walter Map is not traced to have had any connexion; and if Mr. Wright's conjecture be correct, that the young king alluded to in it is Henry III., it must of course have been written some years after Walter Map's death. J. G. N. _Under the Rose_ (Vol. i., pp. 214. 458.; Vol. ii., pp. 221. 323.).--I am surprised that no one has noticed Sir T. Browne's elucidations of this phrase. (_Vulg. Err._ lib. v. cap. 21. Sec. 7.) Besides the explanation referred to by ARCHAEUS (Vol. i., p. 214.), he says: "The expression is commendable, if the rose from any _naturall_ propertie may be the symbole of silence, as Nazienzene seems to imply in these translated verses-- 'Utque latet Rosa verna suo putamine clausa, Sic os vinela ferat, validisque arctetur habenis, Indicatque suis prolixa silentia labris.'" He explains "the Germane custome, which over the table describeth a rose in the seeling" (Vol. ii., pp. 221. 323.), by making the phrase to refer only to the secrecy to be observed "in society and compotation, from the ancient custome in Symposiacke meetings to wear chapletts of roses about their heads." ACHE. "_Impatient to speak and not see_" (Vol. ii., p. 490.).--There is no doubt of the fine interpretation of your correspondent; but it is not illustrated by the Latin. Also, I apprehend, "indocilis pati" is not put for "indocilis patiendi." It is a common use of _to_--proud to be praised; angry to be so ill-treated. It illustrates a line in Hotspur, the construction of which Warburton would have altered: "I then, all smarting, and my wounds being cold, _To be_ so pestered," &c., _i.e._ at being. May I mention a change in _Troilus and Cressida_ which I have long entertained, but with doubt: "And with an accent tun'd in self-same key, Retires to chiding fortune." {214} Pope reads "returns," Hanmer "replies." My conjecture is "recries." C. B. _Bishop Frampton_ (Vol. iii., p. 61.).--See an interesting notice of his preaching in Pepys' _Diary_, Jan. 20, 1666-7; and what is said of him in Lathbury's _Nonjurors_, p. 203. But probably MR. EVANS is already aware of these references to Bishop Frampton, whose life is a desideratum which many will be glad to hear is going to be supplied. E. H. A. _Old Tract on the Eucharist_ (Vol. iii., p. 169.).--The author of the tract on the Eucharist, referred to by ABHBA, was the Rev. John Patrick. The title of the tract, as given in the catalogues of Archbishop Wake, No. 22.; of Dr. Gee, No. 73.; and of Peck, No. 286., of the _Discourses against Popery during the Reign of James II._, is as follows:--
