Note 130 — Chapter IV
Elizabeth Lee translation
Greene and Lyly are placed on a par by J. Eliote, a friend of the former; in the sonnet, in Stratford-at-Bow French, he wrote in commendation of Greene's "Perimedes":
"Greene et Lylli tous deux raffineurs de l'Anglois."
See also the commendatory verses by H. Upchear, prefacing "Menaphon":
"Of all the flowers a Lillie one I lov'd."
