Hold thy hand! health's dear maintainer;

Life perchance may burn the stronger :
Having substance to maintain her
She untouched may last the longer.

When the Artist goes about
To redress her flame, I doubt
Oftentimes he snuffs it out.

Hiatus valde lacrymabilis.

Time flies away fast,
The while we never remember
How soon our life here

Grows old with the year
That dies with the next December !

Je ne vous dissimuler, amy Lecteur, que je n'aye bien préveu, et me tiens pour deüement adverty, que ne puis eviter la reprehension d'aucuns, et les calomnies de plusieurs, ausquels cest éscrit desplaira du tout.

A STORY CON

CERNING URIM AND THUMMIM ; AND THE ELDER
DANIEL'S OPINION OF THE PROFESSION OF THE LAW.

Here is Domine Picklock
My man of Law, sollicits all my causes,
Follows my business, makes and compounds my quarrels
Between my tenants and me; sows all my strifes
And reaps them too, troubles the country for me,
And vexes any neighbour that I please.

EFFECTS OF TIME AND CHANGE.

DESCRIPTION OF HIS DWELLING-HOUSE.

Combien de changemens depuis que suis au monde,
Qui n'est qu'un point du tems!

PASQUIER.

There is a ripe season for every thing, and if you slip that or anticipate it, you dim the grace of the matter be it never so good. As we say by way of Proverb that an hasty birth brings forth blind whelps, so a good tale tumbled out before the time is ripe for it, is ungrateful to the hearer.

CHAPTER XXXI. P. I.-p. 302.

MORE CONCERNING BELLS.

Lord, ringing changes all our bells hath marr'd;

Jangled they have and jarr'd
So long, they're out of tune, and out of frame;

They seem not now the same.
Put them in frame anew, and once begin
To tune them so, that they may chime all in.

HERBERT.

Mas demos ya el asiento en lo importante,
Que el tiempo huye del mundo por la posta.
