the night came in which it was no longer appointed that he should labour. And be it ever recollected, that although he wrote for his daily bread, and it never failed him, (which was a reward of his faith and truthfulness), yet did he never write a single word or line populo ut placerent fabulæ !
It is the learned BARROW, in his Sermon Of Industry in our Particular Calling as Scholars, that has these words: -" Dignum laude virum Musa vetat mori; learning consecrateth itself and its subject together to immortal remembrance. It is a calling that fitteth a man for all conditions and fortunes; so that he can enjoy prosperity with moderation, and sustain adversity with comfort; he that loveth a Book will never want a faithful friend, a wholesome counsellor, a cheerful companion, an effectual comforter. By study, by reading, by thinking, one may innocently divert and pleasantly entertain himself, as in all weathers, so in all fortunes." Thus did the lamented SOUTHEY, rooted and grounded in the Faith! And with these words, GENTLE AND COURTEOUS READER, I commend to thee the several Series of his Common Place Books
"He that affecteth God in chief, And as himself his neighbour;
May still enjoy a happy life,
Although he live by labour!"-G. WITHER.
