John Keats's Poems.—Can any of your readers inform me what legend (if any) John Keats the poet refers to in his beautiful poem of St. Agnes' Eve, st. xix., when he says:
"Never on such a night have lovers met,
Since Merlin paid his demon all the monstrous debt."
And pray let me know what is implied in the concluding lines of his absurd poem of Hyperion, as they have always been a mystery to me.
Ξανθος.
Holland.—We have the kingdom of Holland, we have the Holland division of Lincolnshire, and in Lancashire we have the two townships of Downholland and Upholland. Is the derivation of each the same, and, if it be, what is the affinity?
Prestoniensis.
Armorial.—Can the younger son of a peer use the supporters to his family arms?
