page 363 note * A copy of this rare tract is in the British Museum. Ritson, Bibliographia Poetica, p. 156, informs us that there was another translation of this poem (or rather another copy of the translation, for it appears that the writer of the one committed wholesale piracy on the other), under the title of “The amorous Contention of Phillis and Flora,” by George Chapman, inserted in a book by that writer, entitled, “Ovid's Banquet of Sence. A Coronet for his mistresse Philosophie, and his amorous Zodiacke. With a translation of a Latine Coppie written by a Fryer, anno Dom. 1400.” 4to. 1595. I hare not been able to obtain a sight of a copy of this book, It is hardly necessary to observe that Chapman is entirely wrong in the date he gives to the original.
