_Lucy and Colin._--Can you tell me who was the author of "Lucy and Colin,"
so beautifully translated by Vincent Bourne, and by him entitled "Lucia et
Corydon"?
In Southey's _Common-place Book_, 3d series, I found the following in p.
712.:--
"Of the wretched poem _Colin and Lucy_ (Tickel?) published as a
fragment of Elizabeth's age, the reviewer says, 'Is this the language
of Q. Elizabeth's time, or something better? But to whatever age, or to
whatever author we are indebted for this beautiful piece, it must be
allowed an honour to both, and therefore worth contending for on behalf
of our own time.'"
