Charles I.,
and best _known as 'General Goring_,' and who, after the loss of
the crown to his royal master, retired to the Continent, and
served with credit as lieutenant-general to the King of Spain.
He married Lettice, daughter of Richard Earl of Cork, and died
abroad, S.P., in _the lifetime of his father_, who survived till
1662, and was succeeded by _his only remaining son_, Charles
Lord Goring, and second Earl of Norwich, with whom, as he left
no issue by his wife, daughter of ---- Leman, and widow of Sir
Richard Beker, all his honours became extinct in 1672. He was
unquestionably the Lord Goring noticed by Pepys as returning to
England in 1660, and not the old peer his father, who, if
described by any title, would have been styled 'Earl of
Norwich.'"

QUERIES

JAMES CARKASSE'S LUCIDA INTERVALLA, AN ILLUSTRATION OF PEPYS' DIARY.

I met lately with a quarto volume of poems printed at London in 1679,
entitled:

"_Lucida Intevalla_ containing divers miscellaneous Poems
written at Finsbury and Bethlem, by the Doctor's Patient
Extraordinary."

On the title-page was written in an old hand the native of the "patient
extraordinary" and author _James Carkasse_, and that of the "doctor"
_Thomas Allen_. A little reading convinced me that the writer was a very
fit subject for a lunatic asylum; but at page 5, I met with an allusion
to the celebrated Mr. Pepys, which I will beg to quote:--

"Get thee behind me then, dumb devil, begone,
The Lord hath eppthatha said to my tongue,
Him I must praise who open'd hath my lips,
Sent me from Navy, to the Ark, by Pepys;
By Mr. Pepys, who hath my rival been
For the Duke's[3] favour, more than years thirteen;
But I excluded, he high and fortunate,
This Secretary I could never mate; {88}
But Clerk of th' Acts, if I'm a parson, then
I shall prevail, the voice outdoes the pen;
Though in a gown, this challenge I may make,
And wager win, save if you can, your stake.
To th' Admiral I all submit, and vail--"

The book from which I extract is _cropped_, so that the last line is
illegible. Can the noble editor of Pepys' _Diary_, or any of your
readers, inform me who and what was this Mr. James Cark
