[For further particulars we would refer our correspondent to Mrs.
Jameson's _Sacred and Legendary Art_ (1st edit.), vol. i. pp. 222.
et seq.; and Parker's _Calendar of the Anglican Church
illustrated_, p. 100.]
_Moravian Hymns--Tabitha's Dream_ (Vol. iv., p. 502.).--Are the
following lines from Walsh's _Aristophanes_ original; and was the
translation ever completed? I quote from memory.
"Audi mæstum, Eliza, questum,
Nuntium audi horridum;
It devota domus tota,
Barathrum orci torridum.
"Simkin _Frater_ desperatur,
Ludit, salit, turpiter;
Ridet Jana sacra fana;
Tabitha _Runt_ deperditur.
"Ego, ut ovis, errans quovis
Scomma nuper omnium,
Ter beata, quæ vocata
Manè sum per somnium;
"Nam procero par Rogero
Spectrum venit coelitus:
Dicens, Ego amore implebo
Te divino penitus."
