sold at Sir John St. Aubyn's sale of prints at Christie's some few years
since.

"_Talk not of Love_" (Vol. iii., pp. 7.77.).--In answering the Query of
A. M. respecting this pleasing little song, your correspondents have
neglected to mention that the earliest copy of it, _i.e._ that in Johnson's
_Scots Musical Museum_, has _two_ additional stanzas. This is important,
because, from No. 8. of Burns's _Letters to Clarinda_, it appears that the
concluding lines were supplied by Burns himself to suit the music. He
remarks that--

"The latter half of the first stanza would have been worthy of Sappho.
I am in raptures with it."

{198} Mrs. Mac Lehose (_Clarinda_) was living in 1840, in the eightieth
year of her age.

_Did St. Paul's Clock strike Thirteen?_ (Vol. iii., p. 40.).--Yes: but it
was not then at St. Paul's; for I think St. Paul's was then being rebuilt.
The correspondent to the _Antiquarian Repertory_ says:

"The first time I heard it (the circumstance) was at Windsor, before
St. Paul's had a clock, when the soldier's plea was said to be that Tom
of Westminster struck thirteen instead of twelve at the time when he
ought to have been relieved. It is not long since a newspaper mentioned
the death of one who said he was the man."

About the beginning of the eighteenth century this bell was removed to St.
Paul's, &c.--Can any of the readers of the "NOTES AND QUERIES" supply the
newspaper notice above referred to. The above was written in 1775. The
clock tower in which the bell was originally (and must have been when the
sentinel heard it) was removed in 1715.

[The story is given in Walcott's _Memorials of Westminster_ as being
thus recorded in _The Public Advertiser_ of Friday, 22nd June,
1770:--"Mr. John Hatfield, who died last Monday at his house in
Glasshouse Yard, Aldersgate, aged 102 years, was a soldier in the reign
of William and Mary, and the person who was tried and condemned by a
Court Martial for falling asleep on his duty upon the terrace at
Windsor. He absolutely denied the charge against him, and solemnly
declared that he heard St. Paul's clock strike thirteen, the truth of
which was much doubted by the court because of the great distance. But
whilst he was under sentence of death, an affidavit was mad
