Cujus est solum ejus est usque ad coelum 1909


from

On the Oxford circuit, and other verses  by Mr Justice Darling 1909

 
CUJUS EST SOLUM EJUS EST USQUE 
AD COELUM 

'ELUSIVE maxim! Hardly Heaven 
they hold 
Whose lands in fee to central Hell 

descend. 
Though from the soil its lords the 
stars behold, 
With the thick air extremest titles end.
