AMICUS CURIÆ.

_Shunamitis Poema_ (Vol. ii., p. 326.).--The titlepage to the volume of

poems inquired after by E.D. is as follows:

"Latin and English Poems, by a Gentleman of Trinity College,

Oxford.

'Nec lusisse pudet sed non incidere ludum.' HOR.

London: printed for L. Bathurst over against St. Dunstan's

Church, in Fleet Street, MDCCXLI."

I know not the author; but I suspect either that the title of an Oxford

man was assumed by a Cantab, who might fairly wish not to be suspected

as the author of several of the poems; or that the author, having been

rusticated at Cambridge, vide at p. 84. the ode "Ad Thomam G." (whom I

take to be Thomas Gilbert of Peterhouse), transferred himself and his

somewhat licentious muse to Oxford.
