From a paper which appeared in the _Athenæum_ in 1842, and has since been reprinted in a separate form, the writer of which I take to be identical with the reviewer of Buckler's work referred to by MR. JACKSON, I think we may gather that what he speaks of as the "Old Pilgrims' Road" is the Otford Road noticed by S. H. and M. (2.) Messrs. Buckler's tract mentions no wayside chapels in Kent. It may not be uninteresting to add, that the author of _Cabinet Pictures of English Life--Chaucer_ has expressed his firm belief, the grounds for which must be sought in his work, that the "Pilgrims' Room" of the Tabard, now the Talbot, in Southwark, whence these memorable pilgrims set forth, must be at least as old as Chaucer, and that the very gallery exists along which Chaucer and the pilgrims walked. ARUN. Replies To Minor Queries. _Shakspeare's Use of "Captious"_ (Vol. ii., p. 354.; Vol. iii., p. 229.).--As W. F. S. does me the favour to ask my opinion of his notion respecting the passage in _All's Well that Ends Well_, I beg to say that I am very glad to find he agrees with me in regard to the _signification_ of the word "captious;" but that I cannot suppose, with him, that Shakspeare wrote _capatious_ in a passage in which the metre is regular; for what sort of verse would be-- "Yet in this _capatious_ and intenible sieve?" Surely W. F. S. has too good an ear to allow him to fix such a line in Shakspeare's text. J. S. W. Stockwell, April 3. 1851. * * * * * _Inscription on a Clock_ (Vol. iii., p. 329.).--The words written under the curious clock in Exeter Cathedral, about which your correspondent M. J. W. HEWETT inquires, and which are, or were, also to be found under the clock over the Terrace in the Inner Temple, London, are, in truth, a quotation from Martial; and it is singular that a sentiment so truly Christian should have escaped from the pen of a Pagan writer: "They" (that is, the moments as they pass) "slip by us unheeded, but are noted in the account against us." What could Chrysostom or Augustine have said stronger or better? The whole epigram is so good that I venture to transcribe it. "AD MARTIALEM DE AGENDA VITA BEATA. "Si tecum mihi, care Martialis, Securis liceat frui diebus, Si disponere tempus otiosum, Et veræ pariter vacare vitæ, Nec nos atria, nec domos potentum, Nec lites tetricas, forumque triste Nôssemus, nec imagines superbas: Sed gestatio, fabulæ, libelli, Campus, porticus, umbra, virgo, thermæ; Hæc essent loca semper, hi labores. Nunc vivit sibi neuter, heu! bonosque Soles effugere atque abire sentit; Qui nobis PEREUNT, ET IMPUTANTUR. Quisquam vivere cum sciat, moratur?" Lib. v. ep. 20. W.[2]
