NOTES AND QUERIES. [io* 8. m. JUNE s, IMS.

And hang a pearl on every cowslip's ear which was long used as a means for deter- mining the date, has a similar treatment in " Cynthia':

By this the formost melting all in teares, And rayning downe resolved Pearls in showers, <j(an to approach the place of heavenly Pheares, And with her weeping watring all their Bowers, Throwing sweet Odors on those fading flowers, At length, she spake them thus mournfully.

In addition to such resemblances between Barnfield and Shakespeare as have heretofore been pointed out by contributors to ' N. & Q.,' I notice in Barnfield " tributary teares " <*T. And.' twice; 'II. and J.') ; "Nipt with the fresh of thy Wrath's winter " ('2 H. VI., 5 II. iv. 3); "eagle-winged" ('Rich. II.,' I. iii. 129); "eternall night" ('Rich. III.,' V. iii. 62); "night's sable mantle" ('1 H. VI.,' II. ii. 2; '3 H. VI.,' IV. ii. 22); "hungry eye" (Sonnet LVL). CHAS. A. HERPICH.

"BELLONA'S BRIDEGROOM," 'MACBETH,' I. Ii. 54. This puzzling allusion may have been suggested to the dramatist by a passage in Chapman's ' Homer ' (Book V.) :

When Hector had heard tell ((Amongst the uprore) of their deaths he laid out all

his voice, And ran upon the Greeks : behind, came many men

of choice, Before him marcht great Mars himselfe, matcht

with his femall mate, 'The drad Bellona.

The allusion may have added interest as collateral evidence of a very late date for ''Macbeth,' Chapman's Fifth Book not being

published until about 1610, a date that -agrees very well with the entry in Forman's

diary. CHAS. A. HERPICH.

" MlCHING MALLICHO " (9 th S. xi. 504 ; 10 th

8. i. 162 : ii. 344, 524 ; iii. 184). Surely this is Shakespear's rendering of the Spanish phrase -still in use, mucho malhecho = a, bad business.

SHERBORNE.

'TiiE Two GENTLEMEN OF VERONA' : FRIAR PATRICK (10 th S. ii. 344, 523; iii. 184). In niy communication at the second reference I -expressed the suspicion, which MR. DEY'S comment tends to confirm, of the non-identity of Friar Patrick and Friar Laurence. This, however, does not materially affect my point. Friar Laurence still suggests an association with 'Itomeo and Juliet,' as does the con- fusion of Verona with Milan in Act V. sc. iv. 11. 128-9, and as the mistake of calling Milan "Padua" in Act I. sc. ii. suggests an asso- ciation with ' The Taming of the Shrew,' all tending to show that these three plays were in the poet's mind at about the same time,

though not so strongly, I admit, as they would be if the name Laurence were proved to be another blunder.

"ALL THE WORLD'S A STAGE," 'As You LIKE IT,' II. vii. (10 th S. iii. 184). An analogon to 6 KOO-/ZOS ovo/vi) is to be found on the one cup of the celebrated "silver- treasure from Bosco Reale.'' Between the two dramatists Sophocles and Moschion, who are represented as skeletons, is placed a labourer with a mask and the inscription 07071/1) f3io$. The cup is now in the Louvre Museum at Paris as a gift of Baron Edmond de Rothschild with others, about a hundred pieces found at Bosco Reale, 1895.

The parallel passage above cited, with several others, is to be found in King's 'Classical and Foreign Quotations,' No. 2581. JOHN B. WAINEWRIGHT.

' CORYATE'S CRUDITIES.' In your ' Notes on Books ' (ante, p. 338) you say that of this book, edition 1611, but a single copy is known to exist That is certainly a mistake, for I have a perfect copy, bought in 1883 ; Mr. Huth has another ; and in Pearson's Catalogue of 1902 I find another, which belonged to Davies of Hereford. Now, large as was the price asked for this copy (150^.), the prices would be much great if these were the only copies. But there are probably others in private libraries, not to mention public ones.

There is the following mention of Coriate and his book in part ii. of 'The Complete Angler,' chap. ii. (1676) :

" Viator. Well, if ever I come to London, of which many a man there, if he were in my place, would make a question ; L will sit down and write my Travels, and like Tom Coriate, print them at my own charge."

There is a small vignette portrait of Tom Coriate inserted from the frontispiece to his 'Crudities,' London, 1611, 4to, copied and engraved by T. Mosses. This is extracted from a pretty little edition of 'The Com- plete Angler ' published by John Major, Fleet Street, 1824. JOHN PICKFORD, M.A.

SELF-MADE MEN. The following list of names may be worth preserving in 'N. & Q.' The original is at Wroughton House, Wilts. The writer is not certainly known, nor the date :
