By fr Bacon who wrote in 1763 the following lines on the Bust of Milton [illegible] the Gadens of Ld [lord] Harcourt at Newnham -------------

         "Could Milton be restor'd to sight,
  Me might, at Good Lord Harcourts Cost,
          See here with exquisite delight
          The Paradise His Adam Lost"

Quam bene con veriunt interse et autor

     Claudicat hoc numero Claudicat ille pede
