between  these  characters."  The  first  two  lines  are  given
thus : —

"  lesus  y*  his  armes  dyd  sprede
And  on  a  tree  was  done  to  dead."

Now  it  is  not  like  Herbert's  general  accuracy  so  to  describe  a
cut,  or  so  to  quote  a  specimen,  if  his  copy  (like  that  at  the
Museum)  had  three  figures,  the  word  "  that"  in  the  first  line
spelt  at  full  lengthj  and  the  last  word  spelt  "  deed."  Then,
the  copy  before  me,  though  it  has  three  figures,  differs  from
the  Museum  copy  in  many  particulars :  the  title  is  made  into
three  words,  (as  I  have  given  them,)  and  is  all  in  one  line  of
large  black  letter ;  while,  in  the  Museum  copy,  the  title  begins
with  a  flower,  and  "  The  enterlude "  constitutes  the  first  line
in  large  black  letter,  "  of  Youth"  forming  a  second  line  in
smaller  type.  In  this,  every  one  of  the  three  figures  is  differ-
ent from  any  one  in  the  Museum  copy,  and  each  has  a  vacant
label  or  ribband  over  its  head ;  in  the  Museum  copy  the  left-
hand  figure  has  a  label  with  "  Charite,"  the  middle  figure  no
label  at  all,  but  the  name  "  Youth"  in  black  letter,  and  the
right  hand  one  a  vacant  label.  In  this,  the  initial  I  is  of  the
gothic  family  represented  by  Dibdin,  Vol.  I.,  Pr.  Diss.,  p.  xl. ;
while  the  initial  of  the  Museum  copy  is  roman.  In  this,  the
words  "  tree"  and  "  deed"  of  the  Museum  copy,  are  spelt  "  tre"
and  "  dede,"  thus  difiering  both  from  it  and  from  Herbert.
