[A query relating to this poem has already appeared, see "N. & Q."
Vol. ii., p 392. Having investigated it, we are inclined to think,
that only those portions of it which appear in the _Britannia_
have been published. Mr. Salmon, in his _Hertfordshire_, p. 3.,
speaking of the word _Tamesis_ being a compound of the two rivers
Tame and Isis, says, "Of this Mr. Camden was so assured, that he
hath left us an elegant poem upon the marriage of these two
streams _in his Britannia_." As to Dr. Basil Kennet's translation,
it is clear from Bishop Gibson's Preface, p. xiv., that he only
translated what has been given in this work. The Bishop says, "The
verses which occur in Mr. Camden's text were translated by Mr.
Kennet, of Corpus Christi College in Oxford."]
_Marches of Wales and Lords Marchers._--Can any of your correspondents
define briefly the _Marches_ of Wales, what localities were comprehended
within the _Marches_, the meaning of the word, as also the term Lords
Marchers? Is there any work in which explanation sought can be found?
