" It is rather long; but there is nothing to
identify Theobaldus except the word "Dervensis." What place this
indicates I know not.
"Hoc vivente, locus Dervensis floruit, isto
Sublato, marcet nominis hujus odor."
_Opera Hildeberti_, p. 1322., Paris, 1708.
In the _Opera Hildeberti_ there occur some verses on the symbols of the
Evangelists. I subjoin them: though it is perhaps hardly worth while to
print any more on this subject.
ON THE SYMBOLS OF THE EVANGELISTS.
"Matthaeum signat vir, bos Lucain, leo Marcum, Ales discipulum
qui sine sorde fuit.
"Matthaeo species humana datur, quia scripto Indicat et titulo
quid Deus egit homo. Os vituli Lucam declarat, qui specialem
Materiam sumpsit de cruce, Christe tua. Effigiat Marcum leo,
cujus littera clamat Quanta surrexit vi tua, Christi, caro.
Discipulum signat species aquilina pudicum, Vox cujus nubes
transit ad astra volans. Christus homo, Christus vitulus,
Christus leo, Christus Est avis, in Christo cuncta notare potes.
Est homo dum vivit, bos dum moritur, leo vero Quando resurgit,
avis quando superna petit."
_Hildeberti Opera_, Paris, 1708, p. 1318.

_Pomfret on the Thames_ (Vol. ii., p. 56.).--In a former number N.
required to be informed where the Pons fractus, or Pountfreyt super
Thamis, was situate, from whence several documents were dated by Edward
II. This question has puzzled many learned antiquaries, and I do not
think has ever been properly resolved.
