Note 116 — THE COUNTRY LIFE[116].

This poem, of which the leading features seem to be copied from the 10th epistle of the 1st book of Horace, has been printed in “The Antient and Modern Miscellany,” by Mr. Waldron, from a manuscript in his possession, and it is consequently retained in this edition of Corbet’s Poems; to whose acknowledged productions it bears no resemblance, at the same time that it is attributed (in Ashmole’s MSS., No. 38, fol. 91.) to Robert Heyrick, the author of “Hesperides.”
