at the bottom are the following verses, representing him

as an adventurer:

"Great mogul's landlord, both Indies king,

Whose self-admiring fame doth loudly ring;

Writes fourscore years, more kingdoms he hath right to,
The stars say so, and for them he will fight too :
And though this worthless age will not believe him,
But clatter, spatter, slander, scoff, to grieve him;
Yet he and all the world in this agree,

That such another Toole will never be."

I am informed, that this print was prefixed to Taylor, the Water Poet's "Honour of the noble Captain O'Toole," first edition, 1622. This pamphlet is reprinted in the folio edition of his works.

ARTHURUS SEVERUS O'TOOLE NON ESUCH, Et. 80; eight verses. W. Richardson.

Captain O'Toole was a man of an odd aspect, and a singular composition of vanity, courage, and caprice. He took every occasion of exercising and boasting of his precipitate valour, which he abundantly displayed against the Irish rebels. Ireland was not the only scene of his romantic bravery; he served as a volunteer in various nations, and was as notorious and ridiculous in other parts of Europe as he was in his own country. He, like Tom Coryat, was the whetstone and the but of wit. John Taylor has exercised his rude pen in an ironical panegyric on him, dedicated "To the unlimited memory of Arthur O'Toole, or O'Toole the Great; being the son and heir of Brian O'Toole, lord of Poore's Court and Farre Collen, in the county of Dublin, in the kingdom of Ireland; the Mars and Mercury, the Agamemnon and Ulysses, both for wisdom and valour, in the kingdoms of Great Britaine and Ireland." In the argument to the history or encomium on him, in verse, the author classes him with Thersites, Amadis de Gaul, Don Quixote, Garagantua, and other wild and redoubtable adventurers; and that Westminster is now honoured with his residence.

Captain JOHN SMITH; emblematic ornaments at the four corners; in Caulfield's "Remarkable Persons."

Captain John Smith deserves to be ranked with the greatest travellers and adventurers of his age. He was some time in the service of the Emperor, and the Prince of Transylvania, against the Grand Signor, where he distinguished himself by challenging three Turks of quality to single combat, and cutting off their heads; for which heroic exploit, he bore three Turks' heads, between a chevron, in his arms. He afterward went to America, where he was taken prisoner by the savage Indians, from whom he found means to He often hazarded his life in naval engagements with escape. pirates, Spanish men of war, and in other adventures; and had a considerable hand in reducing New England to the obedience of Great Britain, and in reclaiming the inhabitants from barbarism. See a detail of his-exploits in the "History of Virginia, New England, and the Summer Isles," written by himself.

Quære, if it should not be a chevron between three Turks' heads.
