p. 210 _Song_. This song, with six additional verses (certainly not the work of Mrs. Behn), is found in a broadside, which version is given in Vol. IV. of the _Roxburghe Ballads_ (pp. 656-9), issued by the Ballad Society. In a similar way the song ‘Ah Jenny gen your Eyes do kill’, sung in the _City Heiress_ (_vide_ Vol. II, p. 253), was in another broadside amplified to no less than eighty lines, and dubbed ‘The Loves of Jockey and Jenny’. Ebsworth in his note on this song (_Roxburghe Ballads_, VI, pp. 176-80) refers to Mrs. Behn and says: ‘it is less her handiwork than that of her friend Tom D’Urfey, who considered himself _facile princeps_ in the writing of Anglo-Scotch ditties’. Similar treatment was accorded the ‘Song made by a Gentlemen’ in _Sir Patient Fancy_, iii, i (Vol. IV, p. 44). For the ballad writer’s additions to this _vide_ _Roxburghe Ballads_, VI (46-9). It is noticeable that these four stanzas (’.oung Jemmy was a Lad’. under the title _Jemmey_ appear in _Female Poems on Several Occasions_. ‘Written by Ephelia. The Second Edition, with large Additions’ (1682). They are not in the first edition (1679) of these Poems. Jemmy is, of course, Monmouth, and in the line ‘But oh he dances with a Grace’ we have an allusion to his skill in dancing. Evelyn speaks of him as ‘an excellent dancer’. p. 211 _Nickey Nackeys_. This song is sung in _The Roundheads_ (_vide_ Vol. I, p. 397). Nickey Nackey is the name which the old senator Antonio (a satire on Shaftesbury) gives to the Greek courtezan Aquilina, _Venice Preserv’d_, iii, i. There may be an allusion to some mistress of that debauched Machiavel. p. 212 _A Paraphrase on the Eleventh Ode_. Tu ne quaesieris scire nefas, quem mihi, quem tibi finem di dederint, Leuconöe, nec Babylonios tentaris numeros--Horatii, _Carminum, I_, xi. p. 212 _A Translation_. This charming poem, Lydia, bella puella candida, Quae bene superas lac et lilium, Albamque simul rosam rubidam, Aut expolitum ebur Indicum.... twenty-five lines in length, was often but quite erroneously ascribed to Cornelius Gallus. _vide_ Scaliger _Poëtices_, Lib. VI. It has very frequently been rendered. The versions of Rochester, of Nott, and of Elton are all particularly graceful. p. 213 _A Paraphrase_. As this is not even claimed to be an exact translation from the Heroides we must not too strictly judge any divergence from the original. LYCIDUS (1688).
