_Family of Giles of Worcestershire_.
Can you tell me any thing of a family named "_Giles_," whose crest was a
horse's head? They were connected with Worcestershire.

_Passage from an Old Play._
Can any of your many readers oblige me by informing me where the
following very striking passage can be found? I have seen the lines
quoted as from an "Old Play;" but a tolerable extensive knowledge of old
plays, and a diligent search, have not hitherto enabled me to find
them:--
"Call you the city gay, its revels joyous?
They may be so to you, for you are young,
Belike and happy. She was young in years,
But often in mid-spring will blighting winds
Do autumn's work; and there is grief at heart
Can do the work of years, can pale the cheek,
And cloud the brow, and sober down the spirit.
This gewgaw scene hath fewer charms for her
Than for the crone, that numbering sixty winters,
Pronounceth it all folly.--Marvel not
'Tis left thus willingly."
