Lulling the mourner's best good thoughts asleep,
Pilfering regrets we would, but cannot, keep;
Bear with him [those]—judge him [those] gently who makes [make] known
His [their] bitter loss by this memorial [monumental] stone;
And pray that in his [their] faithful breast the grace
Of resignation find a hallow'd place."
Cuthbert Bede, B.A.
Tailor's "Cabbage."—
"The term cabbage, by which tailors designate the cribbed pieces of cloth, is said to be derived from an old word, 'cablesh,' i. e. wind-fallen wood. And their 'hell,' where they store the cabbage, from 'helan,' to hide."
Clericus Rusticus.
