_Necessitas non habet legem._

ON SIR JOHN ANSTRUTHER.

_By the Honourable Thomas Erskine._

Necessity and Law are alike each other:
Necessity has no Law--nor has Anstruther.

EPITAPH ON A CONTROVERSIALIST.


On the death of that turbulent and refractory enthusiast, John Lilburne,
_alias Free-born John, alias Lilburne the Trouble-world_, there
appeared the following epigrammatic epitaph:--

Is John departed, and is Lilburne gone?
Farewell to both, to Lilburne and to John!
Yet being gone, take this advice from me,
Let them not _both_ in one grave buried be.
