"_Amentium haud Amantium_" (Vol. vii., p. 595.).--The following English
translation may be considered a tolerably close approximation to the
alliteration of the original: "Of dotards not of the doting." It is found
in the Dublin edition of _Terence_, published by J. A. Phillips, 1845.
C. T. R.
Mr. Phillips, in his edition, proposes as a translation of this passage,
"Of _dotards_, not of the _doting_." Whatever may be its merits in other
respects, it is at all events a more perfect alliteration than the other
attempts which have been recorded in "N. & Q."

When I was at school I used to translate the phrase "Amentium haud
amantium" (Ter. _Andr_., i. 3. 13.) "_Lunatics, not lovers_." Perhaps that

A friend of mine once rendered this "_Lubbers, not lovers_."

_Talleyrand's Maxim_ (Vol. vi., p. 575.; Vol. vii., p. 487.).--Young's
lines, to which Z. E. R. refers, are:
"Where Nature's end of language is declined,
And men talk only to conceal their mind."
With less piquancy, but not without the germ of the same idea, Dean Moss

"Gesture is an artificial thing: men may stoop and cringe, and bow
popularly low, and yet have ambitious designs in their heads. And
_speech is not always the just interpreter of the mind_: men may use a
condescending style, and yet swell inwardly with big thoughts of
themselves."--_Sermons_, &c., 1737, vol. vii. p. 402.

_English Bishops deprived by Queen Elizabeth_ (Vol. vii., pp. 260. 344.
509.).--The following particulars concerning one of the Marian Bishops are
at A. S. A.'s service. Cuthbert Scot, D.D., sometime student, and, in 1553,
Master of Christ's Church College, Cambridge, was made Vice-Chancellor of
that University in 1554-5; and had the temporalities of the See of Chester
handed to him by Queen Mary in 1556. He was one of Cardinal Pole's
delegates to the University of Cambridge, and was concerned in most of the
political movements of the day. He, and four other bishops, with as many
divines, undertook to defend the principles and practices of the Romish
Church against an equal number of Reformed divines. On the 4th of April he
