"The dancing frier, tatter'd in the bush,
Those monstrous lies of little Robin Rush;
_Tom Chipperfeild_, and pritty lisping _Ned_,
That doted on a maide of gingerbread.
The _flying pilcher_, and the _frisking dace_,
With all the rabble of _Tim Trundell's_ race,
Bred from the dunghils and adulterous rhimes,
Shall live, and thou not superlast all times?"
Can any of your correspondents versed in the folk lore of the West of
England give me any explanation of _Tom Chipperfeild_ and Co.?

Southwark.
_East Norfolk Folk Lore_ (Vol. iv., p. 53.).--Cure for Ague. The cure
mentioned by MR. E.S. TAYLOR above, I have just learnt has been
practised with much success by some lady friends of mine for some years
past amongst the poor of the parishes in which they have lived. From the
number of cures effected by them, I have sent the same application (with
the exception of using ginger instead of honey) to a relative of mine in
India, who has been suffering from ague acutely, and am anxiously
waiting to hear the result. It would be satisfactory to have the medical
nature of the remedy, as well as its effects, accounted for; but I fear
this would be considered as out of your province.

SERMON OF BISHOP JEREMY TAYLOR.
I have a 12mo. volume entitled--
"Christ's Yoke an easy Yoke, and yet the Gate to Heaven a straight
Gate: in two excellent Sermons, well worthy the serious Perusal of
the strictest Professors. By a Learned and Reverend Divine. Heb.
xi. 4.: _Who being dead yet speaketh_. London, printed for F.
Smith, at the Elephant and Castle, near the Royal Exchange in
Cornhill, 1675."
