EDWARD FOSS.

Street-End House, near Canterbury.

"_Goe, soule, the bodies guest_" (Vol. vii., p. 175.).--Your

correspondent is mistaken in thinking that his "additions" are a new

discovery. Both stanzas were printed, with slight variations from this

copy, by Sir H. Nicolas, at the end of his edition of Davison's

_Poetical Rhapsody_, 1826, pp. 413--415.; and both are mentioned by Mr.

Hannah, when he says (p. 103.):

"In E (the mark by which Mr. H. designates that copy in

Nicolas), one stanza is interpolated after line 36, and a

second at the end."

As I entirely agree with Sir H. Nicolas that the lines in question are

"a wanton interpolation," I think Mr. Hannah was perfectly justified

in contenting himself with this acknowledgment of their existence.
