Note 16 — THE TEMPLE OF FAME.

Tho saw I all the hill y-grave With famous folkes names fele. That had been in muchel wele And her fames wide y-blow; But well unneth might I know Any letters for to rede Their names by, for, out of drede, They weren almost off-thawen so, That of the letters one or two Were molte away of every name, So unfamous was woxe their fame; But men said what may ever last.—Pope.
