"Vita crucem, et vivas, hominem si noscere velles,
Quis, quid, cur, cujus passus amore fuit."
Which may be literally translated, "Shun the Cross, that you may live, if you would know Him aright, Who and what He was, why and for love of whom He suffered." These lines seem to be a caveat against the adoration of the material Cross, and were probably composed during the domination of the fanatics in Cromwell's time, when that redoubtable Goth, Master William Dowsing, demolished whatever was inscribed with the Cross, whether of brass, marble, or other material.—Our Correspondent will find the line, "A falcon towering in his pride of place," in Macbeth, Act II. Sc. 4.
