_Lines in a Snuff-box._--The following lines were recently found in a metal

(probably silver) snuff-box, which had lain for many years undiscovered in

a plate chest. They are engraved {182} _inside_, on the bottom of the box,

and are supposed to be a saying of Cardinal Mazarin. Can any of your

correspondents give any account of them, and where they are to be found?

They are as follow, _verbatim et literatim_, punctuation included:

"Time and I, to any Two

Chance & I to time and you

1750"
