There it stood, years afterwards, above the warehouse
door: Scrooge and Marley. The firm was known as
Scrooge and Marley. Sometimes people new to the
business called Scrooge Scrooge, and sometimes Marley,
but he answered to both names. It was all the
same to him.>>

HARVEY, GABRIEL THE WRITERS POSTSCRIPT:
OR A FRENDLY CAUEAT TO THE SECOND SHAKERLEY OF POWLES.

15 Is it a Dreame? or is the Highest minde,
16 That euer haunted POWLES, or hunted winde,
17 Bereaft of that same sky-surmounting breath,
18 That breath, that taught the Timpany to swell?

19 He, and the Plague contended for the game:
20 The hawty man extolles his hideous thoughtes,
21 And gloriously insultes vpon poore soules,
22 That plague themselues: for faint harts plague themselues.
23 The tyrant Sicknesse of base-minded slaues
24 Oh how it dominer's in Coward Lane?
25 So Surquidry rang-out his larum bell,
26 When he had girn'd at many a dolefull knell.

27 The graund Dissease disdain'd his toade Conceit,
28 And smiling at his tamberlaine contempt,
29 STERNELY STRUCK-home the peremptory stroke.
30 He that nor feared God, nor dreaded Diu'll,
31 Nor ought admired, but his wondrous selfe:
32 Like Iunos gawdy Bird, that prowdly stares
33 On glittring fan of his triumphant taile:
34 Or like the ugly Bugg, that scorn'd to dy,
35 And mountes of Glory rear'd in towring witt:
36 Alas: but Babell Pride must kisse the pitt.
37 POWLES steeple, and a hugyer thing is downe:
38 Beware the next BULL-BEGGAR of the towne. ---------------------------------------------------------------
<<SIDNEY, SIR PHILIP: his epitaph may be read in Stow's London
(ed. Strype, 1720, bk. iii., p. 161). The tomb shared
between him & [his father-in-law] Sir Francis Walsingham
was considered unworthy of their renown.

"Philip and Francis have no Tomb,
For great Christopher takes all the Room."

the tomb of Sir Christopher Hatton(1540-91) in ST. PAUL's.
IT WAS ONE OF THE FINEST MONUMENTS THERE.>>

The [following] inscription appears in ST. PAUL's Cathedral,
on the tomb of Sir Francis Walsingham, which the poem
itself (as an acrostic) in fact tells us.

S hall Honor, Fame and Titles of Renowne

R ather will I, though wiser Wits may frown,

F or to inlarge his Fame, extend my Skill.
R ight gentle Reader, be it known to thee
A famous Knight doth here interred lie,
N oble by Birth, renowned by Policie,
C onfounding Foes which wrought our Jeopardie.
I foreign Countries their intents he knew;

W hen Dangers would by Enemies ensue
A s well as they themselves he understood.

S ing and sound forth praiseworthy Harmony:
I n England, Death cut off his dismal Days,
N ot wronged by Death, but by false Treachery.

H erein I have exprest my simple Skill,
A s the first Fruits proceeding from a graffe;
M ake them a better whosoever WILL. ---------------------------------------------------------------
