The last stop on the 2011 Cheese-trencher tour

GM and I went to visit his mom for Christmas, and I had an opportunity to go to Princeton's Firestone library and see their set of Elizabethan Roundels (Taylor MS 19, scroll to bottom for brief description). It's a charming set, very similar in design to the Fitzwilliam's Box containing twelve trenchers  and St Albans's Set of Tudor Roundels. The verses are secular (with one exception), and the spaces normally occupied by bible verses are used for the first couplet of the posies. This arrangement of text has only one other exemplar I know of, a lone survivor of a lost set in the Norfolk museum.  Several of the Taylor trenchers are badly damaged, but nearly all the texts were readable, yay!
