$Glocestei-hall, who was adinitted to that rectory 23 March l60fi, did officrate. Gertrude widow of the said G.Cor\'at lived many years after at Od- coinbe, and near to it, where dying, was buried near to the reHques of her husband, on the 3 April 1645, (21 Car. 1.) as 1 have been informed by the searches of Mr. Hump. Hody, M. A. of Wadham coll. a native of Odcombe. At the same time that George Coryat was elected prob. fellow of New coil, was elected also one John M undyn, born at Maperton in Dorsetshire, wlio being a civilian, and not conforming himself to the Protestant religion, was ejected thence by the B. of Win- chester in his visitation of that coll. 1566.

[Cor3'at ventured to address the queen on no less important a subject than her marriage: O virgo et princeps, 6 regis filia, regis Et soror, 6 regis uxor ut esse velis. Te tua forma, decus, virtus, pietasque fidesque Hoc rogitant, patrise ut perpetiare patrem. Sic tibi sic poteris patriae sic utilis esse Angelice in terris vivere posse rogant. En tibi sic poteris, patriae sic utiHs esse Non poteris, patriam prole beare potes. Si potes, ergo velis : regalem sumito sponsum, Sic tibi, sic patriae consule, virgo, tuae. En daemon satagit, stimulatcaro, mundus adurit, Sola potes tantis belligerare inalis ? Si modo sola potes, vestram sed respice gentem, Ne miserum Satanas devoret ore gregem. Da Deus banc mentem, da no'stra principe dig- num Et regein et prolem, coctera jam dederas. Tuq; tui, jjrinceps, regimen sic dirige regni, Ut post hoc regnum ccelica regna petas. He wrote also a poem in honour of the earl of Pembroke, which he translated into Englisii: it begins, The Penbroke dragon greene of hue, good reader, here behold, His scaled necke enuironed with glittering chaine of gold. His hooked clawes, his piercing eyes, his winges prepar'd to flight. His might}' crest, well fauored limmes, and body shaped right. 'Twas not this dragon, whom the dames of Cokhos did bewaile. The keeper of the golden fleece : not Hercules did preuayle Against the same : it was not this which kept the golden frute In Hesper's grove; Apollo's sleight right cunning- ly did shute. His thousand shafts, which Pythopierst, yea Cad- mus hand hath slaine Thy monstrous dragon (mighty Mars) which kept Boeotian plain. The Gods themselues, thesonnes of God, no imps of earthy wight. Not iEsons Sonne, not Joue his youth, not Cadmus put to flight By fathers wrath, Agenors ire could quaile this dragons might; No not despightfuii death—&c.] INDEX.$
