P. 25,-" To the tune of Shore's Wife."

This

P. 32,-"To a new tune, or PHILLIDA FLOUTS ME." song and tune are reprinted in the "Collection of National English Airs."

P. 33,-"The life and death of the famous Tho. Stukely." "The former part of this song is so confined to particulars, that it cannot be expected historians should have taken notice of any of these facts; but I am surprised that amongst the crimes our author has charged Stukeley with, he has not taken notice of the most heinous; treason against his queen and country: for the king of Spain, enraged that queen Elizabeth should protect the Dutch, who had lately revolted from the Spanish government, took care to encourage the rebels in Ireland, and pope Gregory XIII entered into a strict league with him, desiring to set the marquis of Vincola, his illegitimate son, upon the throne of Ireland. Thomas Stukely, who for some reason (but what is not recorded) had fled from England, his native country, joined the pope, and pretended such interest in Ireland, that his holiness gave him the title of marquis of Leinster, earl of Wexford and Cartelogh, viscount Morogh, and baron of Rosse, and the command of eight hundred Italian soldiers, who were to be employed in the conquest of that kingdom. As religion was made the pretence, the expedition was to be commanded in chief by the great bigot of those days, Don Sebastian, king of Portugal, a priest-ridden monarch, whose education had been entrusted to a Jesuit, and who had been taught, that to plant the Roman religion with fire and sword was the grand business of a believing prince. Stukely therefore with his eight hun

dred men sailed to Portugal to join his commander, but he was at that time taken up with other views, and designed an expedition nearer home; for he was raising an army to preach the gospel in Morocco. Nor was there a pretence wanted for carrying on this war; for after the death of Abdalla, king of Morocco, Muley Mohamed his son had caused himself to be proclaimed king; upon this his uncle, Muley Moluc, raised an army against him, alleging that pursuant to the laws of the Cheriffs, the king's brothers should ascend the throne before his sons, and Mahomet being overthrown in three pitched battles, fled to Portugal, where having represented his case to Don Sebastian, and promised that his subjects should turn Christians, that monarch, contrary to the advice of all his council, embarked with 13000 men, of whom Stukely and his 800 soldiers made a part, upon promise that, this expedition ended, he would immediately sail for Ireland. A pitched battle, and that a bloody one too, was fought, during which Moluc, who had lain lingering, died in his litter, Sebastian was slain, and Mahomet flying, was drowned in passing the river Mucazen."-Old Ballads, vol. i. p. 188, 8vo. 1727.

P. 42, verse 2,—“ That such a worthy QUEEN as she." In the edition of 1612, "That such a worthy prince as she.”

P. 45,-" A Song of a Beggar and a King." The story of king Cophetua and the beggar maid is frequently alluded to by our old dramatic writers. Shakespeare, in his "Romeo and Juliet" (Act ii. sc. 1) makes Mercutio say: 'Young Adam Cupid, he that shot so trim,

When King Cophetua loved the beggar maid."

In the Second Part of Henry IV, Act v. sc. 3, Falstaff says to Pistoll:

"O base Assyrian knight, what is thy news?

Let king Cophetua know the truth thereof."

Ben Jonson alludes to it in his comedy of "Every Man in his Humour," Sir William Davenant in "The Wits," &c. &c.

P. 46,-When she the king ESPIED." Espies" in the edition of 1659, which preserves the rhyme, and is evidently the correct reading.

P. 47, verse 2,-And every thing in THEIR degree." degree" in the edition of 1659.

"In its

P. 51, last verse,- -" The lypard doth love to lie and PRY.” Pray" in the original.

P. 52, verse 2,—“ Troylus DID LOVE with all his might." In the edition of 1612, "Troylus that lord with all his might."

P. 53, last verse,-" Or with her ten commandments:" i. e. her ten nails.

P. 64, verse 1,-In this and other verses, the names of Phillida and Coridon are omitted, but they are evidently in dialogue.

"

P. 68,- To the tune of SELENGER'S ROUND.' Sellenger's Round, or the Beginning of the World," was a very popular tune in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. It is to be found in Queen Elizabeth's and Lady Neville's Virginal Books, in "The Dancing Master," and many other collections. It is mentioned by Morley in his Introduction, by Taylor the water-poet, by Tho. Delony, and by many old dramatists. See "National English Airs," vol. ii. p. 76.

P. 70, verse 4,-In the copy the two first lines of this verse stand thus:

"The knight he gave his question this,

My tale was soone exprest;"

And the last line,

66 Hath well deserved to live."

P. 72, verse 1,-There is one line wanting in this verse, and another so misprinted as to be unintelligible.

P. 75, verse 1,—The burden is supplied from the preceding verse, being omitted in the copy.
