Excerpt from Our British Ancestors: Who and What Were They
"The one nedeth of the other ys helpe."
"The lame why die lacketh for to goo
Is borne upon the blinde is back,
So mutually between theme twoo
The one supplieth the others lack:
The blinde to laime doth lend his might,
The layme to blynde dothe yeld his sight."
Verses on the Panels at Place House, Fowey, Cornwall
Prince. - "Is it upon record? or else reported
Successively, from age to age? -
Buckingham. - "Upon record, my gracious Lord.
Prince. - "But say, my Lord, it were not register'd,
Methinks, the truth should live from age to age.
As 'twere retail'd to all posterity;
Even to the general all-ending day."
Shakspeare, Richard III., Act iii. sc. i.
