^a This singular production, of about the same period, is also derived from the Cotton. Charters, II. 23. It will be observed that the first person named in it is the Bishop of Chester, Booth, who, with John Trevelyan and others, was petitioned against by the Parliament as a person unfit to remain about the King. The name of Trevelyan occurs in the eleventh stanza, and it seems extremely likely that the allusion to the “tale” of the unjust judge, Tresilian, of the reign of Richard II. (who figures so prominently in “The Mirror for Magistrates,”) was purposely misapplied to Trevelyan; otherwise the reference would bo without point. Our readers will be gratified by the perusal of the whole of this remarkable poem.
