Note 813 — Auchinleck (November 2-8).
Reading edition
“Johnson. I remember once being with Goldsmith in Westminster Abbey. While we surveyed the Poets’ Corner I said to him,
‘Forsitan et nostrum nomen miscebitur istis.’
When we got to Temple Bar he stopped me, pointed to the heads upon it, and slily whispered me,
‘Forsitan et nostrum nomen miscebitur istis.’”
Ib. ii. 238.
