Of the contents of the _Cronica Tripertita_ it is unnecessary that more should be said than is contained in the Notes to this edition. Of the remaining pieces the _Carmen super multiplici Viciorum Pestilencia_ is dated by the author as belonging to the twentieth year of Richard II. The _Tractatus de Lucis Scrutinio_ is probably somewhat later, and the poem ‘O deus immense,’ &c., is said in one of the titles prefixed to have been composed near the end of Richard’s reign. Besides these there is a group of Latin poems referring to the accession of Henry IV, ‘Rex celi, deus,’ &c. adapted from the _Vox Clamantis_, ‘H. aquile pullus,’ and ‘O recolende, bone,’ with several short occasional pieces belonging to the last years of the author’s life. One of these has reference to his blindness and to the end of his activity as an author which was caused by it, and in connexion with this we have also the epistle to Archbishop Arundel prefixed to the All Souls MS. of the _Vox Clamantis_ and other Latin poems, and apparently meant to accompany the presentation of this particular copy. To Arundel also is addressed the short piece referring to the comet of March 1402, and finally we have the lines in which allusion is made to the short-comings of executors. It is probable also that the four lines which afterwards appeared upon the poet’s tomb, ‘Armigeri scutum,’ &c., and which are given by the Glasgow MS., were written by Gower himself. Some reference ought perhaps to be made in conclusion to the list of Gower’s works given by Bale and copied by others, with a view to the question whether he was acquainted with any works of Gower which are not known to us. In his _Scriptorum Illustrium Catalogus_, p. 524 (ed. 1559) he says that Gower wrote ‘_Speculum Meditantis_, Gallice, Lib. 10. ‘_Confessionem Amantis_, Anglice, Lib. 8, “Eorum qui ante nos scripserunt.” ‘_Vocem Clamantis_, Latine, Lib. 7, “Scripture veteris capiunt exempla.” ‘_De compunctione cordis_, Lib. 1. ‘_Chronicon Ricardi Secundi_, Lib. 3, “Opus humanum est inquirere.” ‘_Chronicon tripertitum_, Lib. 3, “Tolle caput mundi C. ter et sex.” ‘_Ad Henricum quartum_, Lib. 1, “Nobilis ac digne rex Henrice.” ‘_De eodem rege Henrico_, Lib. 1, “Rex celi deus et dominus.” ‘_De peste vitiorum_, Lib. 1, “Non excusatur qui verum non fateatur.” ‘_Scrutinium lucis_, Lib. 1, “Heu quia per crebras humus est.” ‘_De coniugii dignitate_, Lib. 1, “Qualiter creator omnium rerum Deus.” ‘_De regimine principum_, “O deus immense, sub quo dominatur.” ‘_Epigrammata quaedam_, Lib. 1, “Alta petens aquila volat alitque.” ‘_De amoris varietate_, Lib. 1, “Est amor in glosa pax bellica.” ‘_Carmina diuersa_, Lib. 1, et alia plura.’
