PoenEe instant : si quis sacra scelus edat in £ede. 

 Finitimi agricolte, et vicini attendite cuncti ! 

 Hie fundus sacer est." 



I will bring my paper to a close, with a free translation by my 

 friend, tbe Rev. F. Kilvert : 



"Let no rude hand disturb this hallowed sod, 

 Or move stones sacred to the Briton's god — 

 Avenging spirits o'er the place preside, 

 And bold profaners evil will betide. 

 Sons of the soil, — with faithful watch and ward 

 This holy precinct be it youx's to guai-d."
