_Latin Poem_ (Vol. vii., pp. 6, 7.).--LORD BRAYBROOKE does not appear to be
so correct as usual in his belief, that neither of the two Latin poems,
which he quotes, have been previously in print. Crowe's beautiful monody
will be found at p. 234. of his collected poems, published by Murray, 1827.
The printed copy, however, which is headed
"Inscriptio in horto Auctoris apud Alton in Com.
Wilt.
----
M. S.
Gulielmi Crowe,
Signif. Leg. iv.
Qui cecidit in acie,
8 die Jan. A.D. 1815. Æt. s. 21."
has the following differences: line 7., "respexit" for "ascripsit;" l. 9.,
"solvo" for "pono." L. 10. and the following lines stand thus:
"Quinetiam assidue hic veniam, lentæque senectæ,
De Te, dulce Caput, meditando, tempora ducam:
Sæpe Tuam recolens formam, moresque decentes,
Dictaque, tum sancto, et sapienti corde profecta,
Tum festiva quidem, et vario condita lepore.
Id mihi nunc solamen erit, dum vita manebit.
Tu verò, quicunque olim successoris Hæres,
Sedibus his oro, moesti reverere parentis,"
and so on to the end, with one or two alterations; except in the
penultimate line, "sit" for "stet;" and, in the last, "jucundi" for
"dilecti."
