1. Does not the _entire_ quotation run somewhat thus:--

"For he that fights and runs away
May live to fight another day;
But he that is in battle slain
Can never hope to fight again"?

2. Are the two last lines in the _Musarum Deliciæ_?

3. May not the idea suggesting the two first lines be traced to some
passage in one of the orations of _Demosthenes_, and, PAST him, to the
"[Greek: Anaer ho pheugon kai palin machaesetai]" of some contemporary,
if not still older writer?

4. Whose _Apothegems_ [qy., those of Demosthenes?] are under
consideration on folio 239., from which Mr. Rimbault quotes?

Queries 1, 2, 3 have long stood _in MS._ in my note-book, and I should
much like to see them in _print_, while the subject to which they refer
is still fresh in the minds of your readers.
