_Meaning of Crambo._--Sir Thomas Browne (_Religio Medici_, part ii. s. 15.
ed. 1678) says:
"I conclude, therefore, and say, there is no happiness under (or, as
Copernicus will have it, above) the sun, nor any Crambo in that
repeated verity and burthen of all the wisdom of _Solomon_, _All is
vanity and vexation of spirit_."
Query, What is the meaning of _crambo_ here, and is it to be met with
elsewhere with a similar meaning?
