NOTES AND QUERIES. [11 s. in. APRTL 29, ion.

Parke had no excuse whatever for omitting this sonnet, which is a love-poem addressed by Harington to Isabella Markham, who afterwards became his wife. ' Nugse An- tiquse,' ed. 1779, prints it as under : To Isabella Markham, 1549. Lyke as the rage of rayne, &c. The most interesting poem of Harington's in Tottel remains to be dealt with, and, as I shall have to make some remarks concern- Ing it, I reserve it for my next paper.

INSCRIPTIONS IN THE NEW PROTESTANT CEMETERY, FLORENCE.

THIS cemetery is outside the Porta Romana, on the Greve road, and may be reached by tram from the Mercato Nuovo in about 25 minutes. It is laid out on the gentle -slope of a hill, and from the gate a path goes straight up the hill, dividing the ceme- tery into two equal portions. This path is crossed at right angles by three other paths, dividing the lower part of the ground into four " zones." Still higher, beyond these zones, the ground is semicircular in plan, the tombs following the curve of the ^semicircle. The inscriptions given below .are those in the zones ; the semicircular portion was not attempted. The first zme yielded no inscription in English. "The copies were taken on 29 April, 1910.
