"A whole length of him at St. James's, in a night-gown and black cap. "A portrait of his queen in the Ashmolean Museum at Oxford. "Jane Shore at Eaton (_sic_). "Richard III. at Kensington. "Picture of Henry V. and his family at Mr. West's. "A picture of Mabuse at St. James's, called Albert Durer. "Matthew Paris with miniatures, in the British Museum. "William of Wickham's Crozier at Oxford. "Greek enamellers in the reign of the two Edwards. "An old altar-table at Chiswick; Lord Clifford and his lady kneeling; Consecration of Thomas à Becket at Devonshire House, both by Van Eyck." "Froissart illuminated, wherein is a miniature of Richard II., in the Museum." One might have thought that these notes were made for the use of Horace Walpole's _History of Painting_; but their writer, the second Lord Oxford, died in June, 1741, long before Walpole could have thought of such matters. They perhaps may afford clues to other antiquaries. C. Queries. ENGLISH POEMS BY CONSTANTINE HUYGHENS. It is probable that some of your friendly correspondents in Holland may have it in their power to indicate where the English verses of Constantine Huyghens are to be found which he refers to in his _Koren Bloemen_, 2de Deel, p. 528. ed. 1672, where he was given Dutch translations with the following superscriptions: "Aen Joffw Utricia Ogle, uyt mijn Engelsh;" and "Aen Me-Vrouwe Stanhope, met mijn Heilige dagen, uyt mijn Engelsh." Huyghens appears to have had a thorough knowledge of our language, and his very interesting volume contains translations of twenty of Dr. Donne's poems, very ably rendered, considering the difficulty of the task. He refers to this in his address to the reader, and says that an illustrious Martyr [Charles I.] many years since had declared that he could not have believed that any one could have successfully accomplished it. Huyghens confesses that the Latinisms with which our language abounds, had given him much to wrestle with; and that it was difficult to express in pure Dutch such words as _ecstasy_, _atomy_, _influence_, _legacy_, _alloy,_ &c. The first stanza of the song, "Go and catch a falling Star," may perhaps be acceptable to some of your readers, who may not readily have access to the book: "Gaet en vatt een Sterr in 't vallen, Maeckt een' Wortel-mensch[1] met kind, Seght waer men al den tijd die nu verby is vindt, En wie des Duyvels voet geklooft heeft in twee ballen: Leert my Meereminnen hooren, Leert my hoe ick 't boose booren, Van den Nijd ontkommen moet, En wat Wind voor-wind is voor een oprecht gemoed." [Footnote 1: Mandrake.] One more example of his translation, from the epigram on Sir Albertus Morton, may be allowed, as it is short: "She first deceased; he for a little tried To live without her; liked it not, and died."
