Chester, in the baronies of Stanyton, Wigton, Doudryt, Waverton,
Blencoyd, and Kirkbride, in the county of Cumberland; and the said
Odardus built Wigton church and endowed it. He lived until King John's
time. Henry I. confirmed the grant of the barony to him, by which it is
probable that he lived a hundred years. He had issue Adam. Adam had
issue Odard, the lord, whose son and heir, Adam the Second, died
without issue, and Odard the Fourth likewise," &c.--Denton's _MS._

SHAKSPEARE'S "ANTONY AND CLEOPATRA."
(Vol. iii., p. 139.)
The scene in _Antony and Cleopatra_ contains two expressions which are in
_Henry VIII._--
"Learn this, Silius."
"Learn this, brother."--_Hen. VIII._
"The Captain's captain."
"To be her Mistress' mistress, the Queen's queen."--_Hen. VIII._

the business of the play). The other is in a scene which he gives to
Shakspeare.
But, perhaps, there may be doubts whether rightly. I am exceedingly
