Translation by Johnston of Thomas Carew's "Ask me no more where Jove bestows", though thought by J. A. Stewart to be of a lost Elizabethan lyric. Sent to Trevelyan as an enclosure in a letter from Gordon Luce (4/172).

100 Weston Rd, Gloucester. - J. A. Stewart has sent Luce the enclosed poem [see 4/185], which he takes to be a Latin translation by Arthur Johnston; Trevelyan will soon see that it is in fact a translation of Thomas Carew's "Ask me no more where Jove bestows". Thinks it rather fine. Asks if Trevelyan knows much about Johnston, who died after a meal at Oxford. He and Teetee are going there in June for a course in anthropometry; he hopes they will survive.
