_Captain Ayloff_ (Vol. vii., p. 429.).--Your correspondent will find a
short notice of Capt. Ayloff in Jacob's _Poetical Register_ (1719-20, 8vo.,
2 vols.), and two of his poetical pieces--"Marvell's Ghost" and the
"Cambridge Commencement"--in Nichols's _Collection of Poems_ (vol. iii. pp.
186-188.), 1780, 12mo. There is considerable vigour in his "Marvell's
Ghost;" and had he cultivated his talent, he might have taken a respectable
place as a poet amongst the writers of his time.
