_Inscription on a Dagger_ (Vol. vii., p. 40.).--These lines form a Dutch
proverb, and, if thus written, rhyme:
"Die een peninck wint ende behovt
Die macht verteren als hi wort owt.
Had ick dat bedocht in min ionge dagen
Dorst ick het in min ovtheit niel beklagen."
Which being interpreted inform us that, He who gains a penny, and saves it,
may live on it when he becomes old. Had I minded this in my youthful days,
I should not have to complain in my old age.
