Since these sheets were last revised, and when they were ready for press, Mr. Simpson discovered and communicated to me some variants (from Bodley MSS.) of Cleveland's pieces on [Chadderton] (v. sup. p. 81) and [Williams] (p. 69). His note is as follows:
"There is a version of the Elegy upon Doctor Chadderton (page 81) in Ashmole MS. 36-7, fol. 263. After l. 14 four lines are inserted:
We thought, for so we would it have,
Thou hadst outlived death and the grave,
Hadst been past dying, and by thine own
Brave virtue been immortal grown.
Not very brilliant, but no one would have any motive for interpolating such lines. Further, ll. 17-18 are omitted.
25 'dear Snt.' i.e. as conjectured in the note, 'Saint.'
30 'Kend' written in a larger hand, with a view to emphasis. Query, a favourite word of Chadderton?
