CALMET.

"_Fronte Capillatâ," &c._--On the Grammar School at Guilsbro, in

Northamptonshire, is inscribed the following hexameter:--

"Fronte capillatâ post est Occasio calva."

I suppose it alludes to some allegorical representation of _Occasio_; and

is intended to convey the same meaning as our English proverb, "Seize time

by the forelocks." From what author is this inscription taken?
