COTLAND! thy weather's like a modish wife;
Thy winds and rains for ever are at strife;
Like thee the termagants their blustering try,
And, when they can no longer scold, they cry.
Aaron Hill (1685-1750).
ENT with Lamb to Richman's. Richman produced one of Chatterton's forgeries. In one manuscript there were seventeen different kinds of e's. "Oh," said Lamb, "that must have been written by one of the—
'Mob of gentlemen who write with ease.'"
Crabb Robinson, Diary.
SCIRE TUUM NIHIL FIT.
O have a thing is little, if you're not allowed to show it,
And to know a thing is nothing, unless others know you know it.
Lord Neaves.
