VULPES. {215}

_Antony Alsop._--Will any of your correspondents kindly tell me who

Antony Alsop was? A thin Quarto volume of Latin Odes was published in

1753, with the following title: "Antonii Alsopi Ædis Christi olim Alumni

Ordarum Libri Duo," Londoni, 1753. They are extremely elegant, and

deserving the attention of all lovers of Latin poetry. I have also

another volume, "Latin and English Poems, by a Gentleman of Trinity

College, Oxford," Quarto London, 1738. In this latter volume, with but

two or three exceptions, the poems are very obscene, yet I find one or

two of Alsop's odes in it. Could any of your readers tell me if both

volumes are by the same author? Was Alsop at Trinity College and

subsequently a student of Christ Church?
