Part 68 (2/2)

_Dorothea Christiana Elizabeth Rexsehen._

Beneath the Lord's anointed may she thrive, Still may his influence keep the palm alive, Still may it flourish, branches still extend, Afford us shelter, and from heat defend.

_Catharine Sophia Bertrowen._

Nought can our brothers' ardent zeal restrain, Fain would they tempt with thee the roaring main; Permit them, Queen, thy person to be near, That of thy safety tidings we may hear.

_Chorus._

Yet for one favour more we must apply, But little can these barren tracts supply; Permit us, since both gold and pearls you scorn, Your royal brows with myrtle to adorn!”

QUAINT LINES ON QUEEN ELIZABETH.--Queen Elizabeth, who died at Greenwich, was brought thence to Whitehall by water, in a grand procession. On this occasion, as Camden informs us, the following quaint lines were written:--

”The Queen was brought by water to Whitehall; At every stroke the oars did tears let fall; More clung about the barge; fish under water Wept out their eyes of pearl, and swam blind after.

I think the bargemen might, with easier thighs, Have row'd her thither in her people's eyes; For howsoe'er, thus much my thoughts have scann'd, She had come by water, had she come by land.”

CURIOUS NAMES ADOPTED IN THE CIVIL WARS.--A curious style of naming individuals was exceedingly common in the time of the civil wars. It was said that the genealogy of our Saviour might be learned from the names in Cromwell's regiments. The muster-master used no other list than the first chapter of Matthew.

A Jury was returned in the county of Suss.e.x of the following names:

_Accepted_ Trevor, of Horsham.

_Redeemed_ Compton, of Battle.

_Faint-not_ Hewet, of Heathfield.

_Make-peace_ Heaton, of Hare.

_G.o.d-reward_ Smart, of Fivehurst.

_Stand-fast-on-high_ Stringer, of Crowhurst.

_Earth_ Adams, of Warbleton.

_Called_ Lower, of Warbleton.

_Kill-sin_ Pimple, of Witham.

_Return_ Spelman, of Watling.

_Be-faithful_ Joiner, of Britling.

_Fly-debate_ Robert, of Britling.

_Fight-the-good-fight-of-faith_ White, of Emer.

_More-fruit_ Fowler, of East Hadley.

_Hope-for_ Bending, of East Hadley.

_Graceful_ Harding, of Lewes.
