Political, religious, and love poems. Some by Lydgate, Sir Richard Ros, Henry Baradoun, Wm. Huchen, etc. from the Archbishop of Canterbury's Lambeth Ms. no. 306, and other sources, with a fragment of The Romance of Peare of Provence and the fair Magnelone, and a sketch, with the prolog and epilog, of The Romance of the knight Amoryus and the Lady Cleopes,

At the end are the following verses, which I have not seen elsewhere:—

                                  
                                    This book hat Ypocras,

                                    And Galien his felaw, and Socrates,

                                    Ffor alle þei were felawes & fere
                                  
                                    Whil þei leveden in erde here;
                                  
                                    And þorw þe grace of hevene kyng,
                                  
                                    Þei practiseden medicines to helpe manky[n]d.

                                    Þat [he] gif her sowles god wonnyng. [These verses are at the end of the same treatise (fol. 20* or page 40), which appears to be quite complete. It refers to "the good Earl of Hereford, that was a noble surgeon"; and I think must have been composed in the 14th century.—J. F. PAYNE.]
