GILES'S, CRIPPLEGATE, POSSIBLY BY MILTON. The chief glory of the church of St. Giles, Cripplegate, is the possession of Milton's dust. But this does not constitute its only distinction. It boasts a magnificent organ, and the most beautiful epitaph with which I am acquainted. As this last may be as much of a stranger to many of your readers as it was to me, and may bestow upon the curious in such matters some portion of the pleasure which its discovery gave me, I venture to crave for it a nook in your columns. Considerably to the right of the pulpit, at no great distance, if I recollect aright, to the left of the main entrance, is a monument to William Staples, a citizen of London, who died in 1650, whereon is inscribed the following elegiac couplet: "Quod cum coelicolis habitus, pars altera nostri, Non dolet, hic tantûm me superesse dolet." Which may be thus Englished: "That Heaven's thy home, I grieve not, soul most dear; I grieve but for myself, the lingerer here." Below the inscription are the touching words-- "Hoc posuit moestissima uxor, Sara."
