Minor Queries.

_Fronte Capillata._--The following lines recurred to my memory after

reading in your last number the translation of the epigram by Pasidippus in

the article on "Fronte capillata," &c.; it is many years since I read them,

but have forgotten where. Can you or any of your correspondents inform me

who is the author of them?

"Oh! who art thou so fast proceeding,

Ne'er glancing back thine eyes of flame?

Known but to few, through earth I'm speeding,

And Opportunity's my name.

"What form is that, that scowls beside thee?

Repentance is the form you see;

Learn then the fate may yet betide thee,

She seizes them, who seize not me."
