 MEMORY MERCY Looking on the lines Of my boy's face, my thoughts I did recoil Twenty-three years; and saw myself unbreech'd, In my green velvet coat, my dagger muzzled, Lest it should bite its master, and so prove, As ornaments oft do, too dangerous. Winter's Tale. Act I. Sc. 2. L. 153.

Thou comest as the memory of a dream, Which now is sad because it hath been sweet. Shelley—Prometheus Unbound. Act II. Sc. 1. Heu quanto minus est cum reliquis versari quam tui meminisse. Ah, how much less all living loves to me, Than that one rapture of remembering thee. The Latin is Shenstone's Epitaph to the memory of his cousin Mary Dolman, on an ornamental Urn. The trans, is by Arthur J. Munby. | author = | work = | place = | note = | topic = | page = 509 }}
