ARTHUR H. HALLAM.

Præsens imperfectum,—perfectum, plusquam perfectum FUTURUM.”—Grotius.

“The idea of thy life shall sweetly creep

Into my study of imagination;

And every lovely organ of thy life

Shall come apparelled in more precious habit—

More moving delicate, and full of life,

Into the eye and prospect of my soul,

Than when thou livedst indeed.”

Much Ado about Nothing.
