_Lines on the Temple_ (Vol. iii., p. 450.).--J. S. will find these lines _in print_, in the "Poetry" of the _Annual Register_ for 1764, vol. vii. p. 247. They are said to have been stuck on the Temple gate. J. K. _Killigrew Arms_ (Vol. i., pp. 204. 231. 283.).--A more correct description will be found in Lysons' _Cornwall_: see "Town Seal of Falmouth." S. H. (2) _Meaning of Hernshaw_ (Vol. iii., p. 450.).--In Poulson's _Beverlac; or History of the Antiquities of Beverley in Yorkshire_, pp. 263, 264. et seq., is an account of the expenses of the "Twelve Governors of Beverley on a visit to the Earl of Northumberland at Leconfield Castle." Among the presents made to the Earl (Henry Algernon Percy, fifth earl, born Jan. 1477-8, died 1527) for so distinguished an honour are four heronsewes, heronseu, hornsue, or _hernshaw_, for it is written in all these ways. Was a young heron formerly esteemed a choice delicacy? Chaucer, describing the feast of Cambisscan, says: "I wol not tellen of hir strange sewes, Ne hir swannes, ne hir heronsewes." But even the full-grown bird was not too powerful for the digestive organs in those days: it was termed _viand royal_, and heronries were maintained for the purpose of food, as well as diversion. In the Northumberland Household Book, these birds, with many others, are named as then served up at table, but which are now discarded as little better than carrion. From _hernshaw_, still further corrupted, arose the proverbial expression introduced by Shakspeare into _Hamlet_,-- "I am but mad north-north-west, when the wind is southerly, I know a hawk from a _hand-saw_." G. P. _Theory of the Earth's Form_ (Vol. iii., pp. 331. 508.).--Do the following passages from the "Version of the Psalms" in the _Book of Common Prayer_ throw any light upon the subject? "And the foundations of the _round_ world were discovered."--Ps. xviii. 15. "The _compass_ of the world, and they that dwell therein."--Ps. xxiv. 1. "Thou hast laid the foundation of the _round_ world, and all that therein is."--Ps. lxxxix. 12. "He hath made the _round_ world so sure."--Ps. xciii. 2. "And that it is he who hath made the _round_ world so fast that it cannot be moved."--Ps. xcvi. 10. "The _round_ world, and they that dwell therein."--Ps. xcviii. 8. R. H. _Coke and Cowper, how pronounced_ (Vol. iv., p. 24.).--_Coke_ is by lawyers generally pronounced like the article which feeds our steam-engines; but the late Earl of Leicester was generally, in Norfolk and elsewhere, called _Cook_. The presumption is, that _Cook_ was the ancient sound given to the word _Coke_. _Cowper_ is a similar instance: I believe it has always been called _Cooper_. In an old electioneering squib by the late Lord John Townshend, _Cowper_ is made to rhyme to _Trooper_. The passage alludes to an old county scandal, and I do not therefore quote it. J. H. L.
