_Ancient Roundelaye for Foure Personnes._
1st. Sing we the goodfellowes roundelaye, And I the cittern will blithele playe. 2nd. I'll sing tenor. 3rd. The treble for me. 1st. And what shalle the bass of our music be? 4th. The wintry winde as it rushes and roars At the windowes and roofe, and the welle fast'ned doore. 2nd. But the wine and the sack, and the canary are bright, They're the good fellowes starres that shine out thro' the nighte. You're a knave if you quit them till morning. 1st. to 2nd. You're a knave. 4th. to 3rd. You're a knave. 3rd. to 1st. You're a knave. _Omnes._ He's a knave who forsakes them till morn.
P.S. The point of this song consists in each singer being called a knave in turn.
_Ecstacy of Michael Angelo._--When the bronze gates of the baptistry of the church of Florence were produced, Michael Angelo cried out with emotion, at the sight of them, "that they deserved to be the gates of Paradise." Casts of these gates may be seen in the Royal Academy, London.
_Power of Knowledge over Brute Force._--There is a popular story, that a student from Oxford was attacked by a wild boar, which issued from the adjoining forest of Shotover, when he escaped by cramming down the throat of the brute, a volume of Aristotle.
