"Steal not this booke, my honest friende,
For fear ye gallows be ye ende;
For if you doe, the Lord will say,
'Where is that booke you stole away?'"
J. C.
To the collection of inscriptions in books commenced by Balliolensis, allow me to add the following:
"Hic liber est meus,
Testis et est Deus;
Si quis me quærit,
Hic nomen erit."
