In the great hall of the Tower, in which the story of Antiochus was painted by the great artists employed under Henry III., and on the elevation of the dais, behind which, across Gothic columns, stretched draperies of cloth-of-gold, was placed Edward's chair of state. Around him were grouped the Dukes of Clarence and Gloucester, the Lords Worcester, Montagu, Rivers, D'Eyncourt, St.
"He is welcome, Montagu, to our poor house," said the archbishop, rising, and complacently glancing at his palace, splendidly gleaming through the trellis-work. 'Puer ingenui vultus. Thou art acquainted, doubtless, young sir, with the Humaner Letters?"

'I had them all as much as they were had; but it might have been better had there been more company there. BOSWELL. 'Might not Mrs. Montagu have been a fourth? JOHNSON.
