[See “Plays and Poems, by Thomas Randolph, M.A.” 12mo. 1664, p. 90. The lines quoted are at the commencement of a dialogue between Collen and Thenot; which is described as “an Eglogue on the noble assemblies revived on Cotswold Hills by Mr. Robert Dover”. An able criticism of Randolph’s works, with extracts, will be found in the sixth volume of the “Retrospective Review”.—J. B.]
