Hampton Court.
_Historical Proverb._--I have frequently in youth heard the proverb, "You
may change _Norman_ for a worser (worse) horse." This sounds like the wise
saying of some unpatriotic Saxon, when urged to revolt against the
conquering invaders. If so, it is an interesting relic of the days when
"Englishrie," though suppressed, yet became peacefully victorious in
transmuting the intruders into its own excellent metal.
