The lines--
"For he that fights and runs away
May live to fight another day,"
resemble the following quatrain in the _Satyre Menippee_, being one of
the several verses appended to the tapestry on which was wrought the
battle of Senlis:--
"Souvent celuy qui demeure
Est cause de son meschef;
Celuy qui fuit de bonne heure
Peut combattre de rechef."

NOTES FROM FLY-LEAVES, No. 5.
In the library of St. John's College are some hundreds of volumes
bequeathed to it by Thomas Baker; most of these have little notices on
the fly-leaves, some thirty or forty of which seem worth printing. One
(Strype's _Life of Parker_) has marginal notes throughout the book, the
value of which will be duly appreciated by those who have read Baker's
notes on Burnet's _Reformation_. (See the _British Magazine_ for the
last year.
