[Footnote 2: We are indebted to several other correspondents for similar replies to this Query; and one, A. C. W., remarks that the epigram from which these lines are quoted, is thus translated by Cowley: "Now to himself, alas! does neither live, But sees good suns, of which we are to give A strict account, set and march thick away: Knows a man how to live, and does he stay?"] * * * * * _Authors of the Anti-Jacobin Poetry_ (Vol. iii., p. 348.).--I knew _all_ the writers, some of them intimately; and I have no doubt of the general accuracy of MR. HAWKIN'S communication. The items marked B are the least to be relied on. I do not think Mr. Hammond, then Canning's colleague as Under-Secretary of State, wrote a line, certainly not of verse, though he no doubt assisted his friend in compiling, and perhaps correcting; good offices, which obtained him an honourable _niche_ in the counter-satire issued from Brooke's, and preserved from oblivion by having been reprinted in the _Anti-Jacobin_ to give more poignancy to Canning's reply, "Bard of the borrowed lyre," &c. The Latin verses "Ipsa mali Hortatrix" were the _sole_ production of Lord Wellesley, and he reprinted them a year or two before his death; Mr. Frere had no share in them: but, on the other hand, Mr. Frere may have been, and I think was, the author of the _translation_, "Parent of countless crimes." Lord Wellesley certainly was not; for it was made after he had sailed for India. With regard to Mr. Wright's appropriation of particular passages of the longer poems to different authors, it is obviously impossible that it should be more than a vague conjecture. I _know_ that both Canning and Gifford professed _not_ to be able to make any such distribution; but both left on my mind the impression that Canning's share of the "New Morality" was so very much the largest as to entitle him to be considered its author. Ought not Canning's verses to be collected? C. * * * * * "_Felix, quem faciunt," &c._ (Vol. iii., p. 373.).--Though I cannot refer EFFIGIES to the original author of this passage, the following parallels may not be unacceptable to him: "Felix, quem faciunt aliorum cornua cautum, Sæpe suo, coelebs dixit Acerra, patri." Joannis Audoeni, _Epigr_. 147. Lib. i. (nat. circa 1600.) Again: "Felix, quicunque dolore Alterius disces posse carere tuo." Tibul. lib. iii. 6. 43. It is remarkable that the annotator on this passage in the Delphin ed., Paris, 1685, p. 327., quotes the line in question thus: "Consonat illud: Felix quem faciunt," &c., _without giving the authority_. Again: "Periculum ex aliis facere, tibi quod ex usu siet."--Ter. _Heaut._ i. 2. 36. (Not 25., as in the Delphin _Index_.) Again: "Feliciter is sapit, qui periculo alieno sapit."
