BURIENSIS.
[Zachary Grey has given a long note on this passage, and states that it was William Lord M-n-n, residing at Bury St. Edmunds, whose lady, possessing the true disciplinarian spirit, tied his lordship to a bed-post by the help of her maids, and punished him for showing favours to the unsanctified Cavaliers; for which salutary discipline she had thanks given her in open court.]
Aldus.
—What was the inscription on his printing-house, requesting his friends to dispatch their business with him as soon as possible, and then go about their business?
A. D. F.R.S.
[Over the door of his sanctum Aldus placed the following inscription:
"Whoever you are, ALDUS earnestly entreats you to dispatch your business as soon as possible, and then depart; unless you come hither, like another Hercules, to lend him some friendly assistance; for here will be work sufficient to employ you, and as many as enter this place."
This inscription was afterwards adopted, for a similar purpose, by the learned Oporinus, a printer of Basil.]
"The last links are broken."
—Who is the author of "The last links are broken?" If they are by Moore, in what part of his works are they to be found?
