Thence to the porter's, in the absence of the butler, and did drink of the College beer, which is very good; and went into the back fields to see the scholars play.

A child might read the simplicity of its proud significance an ox rampant quartered in a field of gules with a pike dexter and a dog intermittent in a plain parallelogram right centre, with the motto, "Hic, haec, hoc, hujus, hujus, hujus." "Father!" The girl's voice rang clear through the half light of the wainscoted library. Gwendoline Oxhead had thrown herself about the earl's neck.
"They have great faith in the Maid of Kent, sir," he said. "My brother-in-law, Nicholas, spoke of her prophecy of his Grace's death.

Laeto nata solo, dextrâ, rosa, pollice carpta; Unde tibi solito pulcrior, unde color? Num te iterum tinxit Venus? an potius tibi tantum Borgia purpureo praebuit ore decus? Ad Bembum de Lucretia. Si mutatur in X. C. tertia nominis hujus Littera lux fiet, quod modo luc fuerat. Retia subsequitur, cui tu hæc subiunge paraque, Subscribens lux hæc retia, Bembe, parat.
