REBUS ON A TOMB

THERE is said to be in Holland Latin
epitaph cut in tombstone which is an
ingenious rebus. AS it appears on the monu-
ment it looks something like this:
BE BIS BIA ABIT
RIA RIA RIA j.:
ES EFT IN,
RAM RAM RAM
II
The explanation is that the four upper
syllables are over-that is. in Latin, SUPER
those in the next line. Next is the syllable
{" ra given three times-and it is not a col
lege cheer. but ter; that is, thrice ra. The
fourth line is plain Latin. The fifth is ter. or
three times ram. The sixth is the letter re-
peated-I twice. or bis. Then the whole in
scription becomes:
O SVERBE OVID SVPERBIS
IVA SVPERBIA TIE SVPERABIT
TERRA

And the translation is, 80 proud man,
why art thou proud? Thy pride shall over
come thee! Dust thou art, and to dust thou
shalt return!"
