I am no more, what I have been And ne'er again shall be so. My summer bright, my spring time green, Have flown out of the window. Oh love, my master thou hast been, I, first of gods, instal thee, Oh! could I e'en be born again, Thou doubly would'st enthral me. D.M. * * * * * TEMPLE AT ABURY. (_To the Editor of the Mirror_.) There is an inconsistency in the account of Abury in No. 341, perhaps overlooked by yourself. I would ask, how could that arrangement of the fabric, so fancifully and ingeniously described by Stukely, be intended to represent the Trinity, when the place was confessedly in existence long anterior to Christianity? nor is there any thing in the old Druidical or Bardic tenets that can be twisted to any such idea. This _Abury_, with _Silbury_, is supposed to be the _Cludair Cyfrangon_, or _Heaped Mound of Congregations_, mentioned in the _Triads_, the building of which is recorded as "one of the three mighty achievements of the Isle of Britain;" and here were held the general assemblies of the Britons on religious occasions, and not at Stonehenge, as is generally supposed. This last place is decidedly more modern than the pile at _Abury_; the Welsh call it _Gwaith Emrys, (the work of Emrys_,) and it ranks as another of the mighty achievements of the Isle of Britain, the third being "the raising of the Stone of Keti," supposed to be the "_Maen Ceti_" at Gwyr, in Glamorganshire. The presumption that _Stonehenge_ is more modern than _Abury_ is founded upon the fact that Stonehenge exhibits marks of the chisel in different parts, while the former does not. The ancient British documents give us the founder of the latter, namely, _Emrys_, or _Ambrosius_, while we are left in ignorance as to who raised the pile of _Cyfrangon_. Nor was Stonehenge ever of such magnitude as _Abury_, the diameter of the former being 99 feet, whilst the latter was 1,400; the largest stones of the former weigh 30 tons, but the latter weigh 100 tons! _Gwaith Emrys_ was possibly more for political than religious assemblies. Here was held the meeting of the Britons and Saxons, when the _Plot of the Long Knives_ (_Twyll y Cyllyll Hirion_) was consummated, and the flower of the British chiefs treacherously destroyed by their pretended friends. Different authors have strenuously contended for giving the honour of supremacy to either of these places over both Britain and Gaul, in the days of Druidism; but Rowlands has industriously placed its chief seat in Anglesey.

As a translation of this curious epitaph (in Lavenham churchyard) which is formed out of two Latin words, has been requested from some of your readers, I send the following:--
