No quiet sleep shall once possess mine eye
Till Wit have wrought his will on Injury.

[M]y heart shall fail, and hand shall lose his force,

[A]nd Fury shall consume my careful corse,
[O]r raze the ground whereon my sorrow grew.

[I] rest reveng'd on whom I am abus'd. - Earle of Oxenforde. --------------------------------------------------

. . Bacon's epitaph to Shakespeare
.
<<In Bacon's Life of Henry VII., published in 1622, there
appears as the concluding sentence an epitaph upon that King and
in the Second Folio of Shakespeare, published in 1632, appears the
"epitaph on the Admirable Dramatick Poet, Mr. William Shakespeare."
Both passages have, as their author's last thought, and as their
closing line, the reflection that a man is more richly sepulchred
in a written monument of his fame, than in any material tomb,
however sumptuous or even regal it may be.
.
The idea is Horace's: "Exegi monumentum aere perennius." ..........................................
. . Bacon's _Henry VII, Conclusion_
.
. He lyeth buried at
. Westminster in one of
. the Statelyest and Daintiest
. Monuments of Europe both
. for the Chappell, and for the
. Sepulcher. So that he dwelleth
. more richly Dead in the
. Monument of his Tomb than
. he did Alive in /RICHMOND/ or
. any of his Palaces.
. I could wish he did the like,
. in this *Monument OF his FAME* .
. As Musaeus, who wrote the love of Hero
. . and Leander, had two .excellent schollers,
. . Thamaras and Hercules: so hath he in England
. . two excellent Poets, imitators of him in

"Are you a child or a teetotum?" the Sheep said as she
took up another pair of needles. "You'll make me giddy soon,
if you go on turning round like that." She was now working
with *FOURTEEN PAIRS* at once, and Alice couldn't help
looking at her in great astonishment.
.
"How can she knit with so many?" the puzzled child thought to
herself. She gets more & more like a *PORCUPINE EVERy* minute!"
.
. . . "Can you row?" the Sheep asked, handing her
. . . . a pair of knitting-needles as she spoke.
.
"Yes, a little--but not on land--and not with needles---" Alice
was beginning to say when suddenly the needles turned into OARS in
her hands, and she found they were in a little boat, gliding along
between banks: so there was NOTHING for it but to do her best.
.
"FEATHER!" cried the Sheep, as she took up another pair of needles. ----------------------------------------------
