Whose hours are spent in useful works,

Or reading tracts divine,

The young, the grave, the wise, the brave,

Pay homage at her shrine.

And so does

Her humble slave,

"JUBA ISSHAM."

I hope that some of your readers will be able to explain this signature, which is to me inexplicable.

W. SPARROW SIMPSON.

ON A PASSAGE IN "MEASURE FOR MEASURE," ACT I. SC. 1.
