The motto of the Pilotage Commission of the river Tyne:—

In portu salus.

In port you sail us.

SONNET

On a youth who died from a surfeit of fruit.

Currants have checked the current of my blood,

And berries brought me to be buried here;

Pears have pared off my body’s hardihood,

And plums and plumbers spare not one so spare:

Fain would I feign my fall; so fair a fare
