_An old Riddle._--I lately found the following mysterious verse upon a
scrap of paper. It is of the time of Henry VIII.:
"Vj is come, v is goone, wyth thris tene beware al men
Vij wyth vij shall mete wyth viij^th and viij^th manye
A thousande shall wepe Ad parabulam hanc
If I shulde seye what it is I shuld have no thanke
For he that ne rekketh where that he steppeth
He may lightly wade to depe."
