Sometyme certayne Into Britayne, A lande full of plentie, A gyaunte greate Came to seke meate, Whose name was Philargyrie,” &c. “See also,” says Warton (_Hist. of E. P._ ii. 358, note, ed. 4to), “a doggrel piece of this kind, _in imitation of Skelton_, introduced into Browne’s _Sheperd’s Pipe_,”—a mistake; for the poem of Hoccleve (inserted in _Eglogue_ i.), to which Warton evidently alludes, is neither doggrel nor in Skelton’s manner.
