"London, printed by Milch Bradwood, for Edward Blount, 1607."

The _Automachia_ is a poem of 188 lines, in heroic metre, and is followed
by a shorter poem, entitled "A Comfortable Exhortation to the Christian in
his Self-conflict."

Do any of your correspondents know of the existence or authorship of this
little work? It is not in the British Museum, nor could the curators of the
library there, to whom it was shown, make out anything about it.

The discovery of its authorship might tend to throw some light on that of
"The Pedlar's Song," attributed to Shakspeare, and appearing in Vol. i., p.
23. of "NOTES AND QUERIES." The song contains the line--

"Such is the sacred hunger for gold."

And in the _Automachia_ I find the "auri sacra fames" described as--

"Midas' desire, the miser's only trust,
The sacred hunger of Pactolian dust."

_Poa cynosuwides._--_Poa cynosuwides_, the sacred grass of India, is
mentioned in Persoon's _Synopsis_, as also an Egyptian plant: does it
appear on the Egyptian monuments? Theophrastus, quoted in the _Praeparatio
Evangelica_ of Eusebius, mentions the use of a certain [Greek: poa] in the
ancient sacrifices of Egypt.

_Vineyards._--Besides those at Bury St. Edmonds and Halfield, are there any
other pieces of land bearing this name? and if so, when were they disused

_Camden's Poem on Marriage of the Thames and Isis._--I should esteem it a
favour if any reader of the "NOTES AND QUERIES" would inform me where I can
find a Latin poem of Camden's on the "Marriage of the Thames with the
Isis." In his work styled _Britannia_ (which was enlarged by Richard Gough,
in 3 vols., fol. Lond. 1789), in vol. i. p. 169., under Surrey, Camden
himself quotes two passages; and in vol. ii., under Middlesex, p. 2., one
passage, from the above-mentioned poem. I have in vain made many endeavours
to find the _entire poem_. I have examined the original work, as well as
all the translations of _Britannia, sive Flor
