Thomas Parr, who died 1635, aged 152. The Russians appear to be the
longest lived of any people, as a proof of this the following article
from _La Clinique_, a Parisian medical journal, will be sufficient:--
"Last year (1828) 604 individuals died between 100 and 105 years old;
145 between 105 and 110; 104 between 110 and 115; 46 between 115 and
120; 16 between 125 and 130; 4 between 130 and 135; 1 at the age of 137;
and 1 at 160."

SIR WILLIAM WALWORTH.

In St. Michael's Church, Crooked-lane, there is a handsome monument to
the memory of Sir William Walworth, with this inscription:--

Here under lies a man of fame,
William Walworth called by name,
Fishmonger he was in lifetime here,
And twice Lord Mayor, as in books appear,
Who with courage stout and manly might,
Slew Wat Tyler in King Richard's sight,
And for which act done, and heere intent
The king made him a knight incontinent,
And gave him arms as here may see,
To declare his fact and chivalrie.
He left his life the year of our God,
Thirteen hundred fourscore and three odd.

Collins was never a lover, and never married. His odes, with all their
exquisite fancy and splendid imagery, have not much interest in their
subjects, and no pathos derived from feeling or passion. He is reported
to have been once in love; and as the lady was a day older than himself,
he used to say jestingly, that "he came into the world _a day after the
fair_."
