_Quebeça and his Epitaph_ (Vol. iii., p. 223.).--This epitaph is said,

upon the authority of _Segrais_, to be upon the king of Spain's

preceptor, and to be seen at _Saragossa_. The version of it in my

possession differs from that supplied by your correspondent, and is as

follows:

"Here lies John Cabeça, preceptor of my lord the king. When he is

admitted to the choir of angels, whose society he will embellish

by his powers of song, God shall say to the angels, 'Cease, ye

calves! and let me hear John Cabeça, the preceptor of my lord the

king.'"
