_Tempora mutantur &c_.--In reply to your correspondent, "E.V."
(No. 14. p. 215.), I beg to state, that the _germ_ of "Tempora
mutantur, et nos mutamur in illis," is to be found in the _Delitiæ
Poetarium Germanorum_, vol. i. p. 685., under the Poems of
Matthias Borbonius. He considers them as a saying of Lotharius I.
(flor. Cir. 830.):--
"Omnia mutantur, nos et mutamur in illis;
Illa vices quasdam res habet, illa suas."
I sent this communication, some years ago, to _Sharpe's
Magazine_, where it will be found, vol. v. p. 208.
