"Arma viros facient—Vosmet simul arma geratis,
Seribatis, jubeo, protinus armigeros:
Hâc lege, ut conclametis, Rex Vivat; idemque
Tu repetas, Stentor noster, utrâque manu."
This epilogue is in my possession in MS., the handwriting of my father, who was, in 1746, a scholar of Westminster College. It should seem, from a letter written to the Gentleman's Magazine by the late Archdeacon Nares, in April, 1826, and reprinted in Nichols's Illustrations, vol. vii. p. 656., that he was in possession of a copy, as he there tenders it to the editor of the sixth edition of Bourne, which had then (1826) recently issued from the Oxford press.

[The Epilogue referred to will be found in the beautiful edition of Vinny Bourne's Poems, published by Pickering in 1840, and in the Gentleman's Magazine, May, 1826, p. 450, where, however, the first line reads—
'Siste, tace; Gnatho sum Miles, cum gloria pulchra,' &c.]
