A LATIN EPIGRAM ON ST. LUKE.

[TO THE EDITOR OF THE " SPECTATOR."]

Sra,—As I was leaving the Cathedral this morning (St. Luke's Day) the following lines were handed to me. They seem to me worthy of being reproduced here. Perhaps some reader

of the Spectator will be able to indicate their source. I give the lines exactly as they were given me; but doubtless aequor is a slip for aegri :- " Pandit evangelii et medicinae munera Lucas; Artibus bine, illine religione potens.

IItilia ille labor per quem vixere tot aequor ; Utilior per quem tot didicere mori."
