_Odour from the Rainbow_ (Vol. iii., p. 224.).--I hope that I have found

JARLTZBERG'S note in the following lines:

"Like to that smell which oft our sense descries

Within a field which long unploughëd lies,

Somewhat before the setting of the sun;

And where the rainbow in the horizon

Doth pitch her tips; or as when in the prime,

The earth being troublëd with a drought long time,

The hand of heaven his spongy clouds doth strain,

And throws into her lap a shower of rain;

She sendeth up (conceivëd from the sun)

A sweet perfume and exhalation."

Browne, _Britannia's Pastorals_, Book i. Song 2.
