_Latin Verses prefixed to Parish Registers._--On a fly-leaf in one of the
registers of the parish of Hawsted, Suffolk, is the following note in the
handwriting of the Rev. Sir John Cullum, the rector and historian of the
parish:
"Many old register books begin with some Latin lines, expressive of
their design. The two following, in that of St. Saviour's at Norwich,
are as good as any I have met with:
'Janua, _Baptismus_; medio stat _Taeda jugalis_
Utroque es felix, _mors_ pia si sequitur.'"
Can any of your correspondents contribute other examples?
