FOOTNOTES:

[A] I am bound to admit that the only authority for this is a note written into the text of Aubrey's Lives.

[B] The reader will refer to the date at the head of this paper:—
"Heu miserande puer! signa fata aspera rumpas,
Tu Marcellus eris.
*    *    *    *    *    *
Sed nox atra caput tristi circumvolat umbra."
