Jesuits.
—Can you give one any clue to the following line:
"Haud cum Jesu itis qui itis cum Jesuitis?"
A similar play on words was made a few years ago by an Italian professor in the university of Pisa. A large number of Jesuits made their appearance one day in his lecture room, as they believed that he was about to assail some favourite dogma of theirs. He commenced his lecture with the following words—
"Quanti Gesuiti sono all' inferno!"
When remonstrated with, he said that his words were
"Quanti—Gesu!—iti sono all' inferno!"

"The right divine of Kings to govern wrong."
—Can any of your correspondents inform me the origin of the line "The right divine of kings to govern wrong?" It is in the Dunciad, book iv., placed in inverted commas. Is it there used as a quotation? and, if so, whence is it taken, or was Pope the original author of the lines?
