So now you have the epilogue, lest you should regard me as neglectful; and I have prosecuted it as the poet took leave of his youth,

"Ter limen tetigi; ter sum revocatus; et ipse

Indulgens animo pes mihi tardus erat."

I only hope that it may have been profitable, as when the philosopher of old disputed in the groves of Tusculum, Eïpntai λóyos. Expect no more mimic signs from me, who must fall into the rear, whence truant fancy, rather than deliberate presumption tempted me to emerge, and henceforth own myself the low

est.

The anthems for the festival of All Saints, which first suggested this course of historical inquiry, may be repeated as the best conclusion; and with the voice of holy choirs let us end. "Admirabile est nomen tuum, Domine, quia gloria et honore coronasti sanctos tuos. Domine, spes sanctorum, et turris fortitudinis eorum, dedisti hæreditatem timentibus nomen tuum, et habitabunt in tabernaculo tuo in sæcula." May the King of Angels lead us to the society of the supernal citizens. May they whose festival we have illustrated intercede for us to the Lord. May that blessed host of heavenly spirits drive from us all evils, past, present and to

come.

"Præterita, præsentia,
Futura mala pellite."

With Gervase, concluding his long Chronicle, I add,

"Finito libro reddatur gratia Christo :"

and with Ratherius of Verona, presuming to substitute another name, which here I am compelled to register:

"Qui cœpisse librum dederas finire dedisti,
Cunctipotens, famulo dando rogata tuo
Hunc ego Kenel mus pro te quia ferre laborem
Suscepi, proba dilue Christe mea."

THE END.
