Pope Felix.—Who is "Pope Felix," mentioned in Ælfric's Homily on the Birthday of St. Gregory? Ælfric, in speaking of the ancestors of St. Gregory, states that "Felix se eawfaesta papa waes his fifta faeder,"—"Felix the pious pope was his fifth father," (i.e. great grandfather's grandfather).

"Where England's Monarch," and "I'd preach as though."—Will any of your subscribers have the kindness to inform me who was the author of the lines
"Where England's monarch all uncovered sat
And Bradshaw bullied in a broad-brimm'd hat."
And also of these, quoted by Henry Martyn as "well-known:"
"I'd preach as though I ne'er should preach again,
I'd preach as dying unto dying men."
