Pile or Peel of Foundrey, both names are used.

This seems to be a slight misquote. Oliver Goldsmith's poem starts with "For still I tried each fickle art" and not "And".

The usual present-day form seems to be: "Non omnes qui habent citharam sunt citharoedi."

According to the OED one definition of "prog" could conceivably apply: a slang term for food. It also may be a typo for "grog".

Probably "coranto": a baroque/renaissance dance style according to Wikipedia.

The spelling of "ultima Thule" instead of "Ultima Thule" has been noted, but not corrected.

END OF VOL. II.
