Oxford, March 9. 1850.

_Trophee_ (No. 19. p. 303.).--"Trophe," in the Prologue of Lydgate's

Translation of Boccaccio's _Fall of Princes_, is a misprint:

_corrige_--

"In youth he made a translation

Of a boke, which called is Troyle,

In Lumbardes tonge, as men may rede and se,

And in our vulgar, long or that he deyde,

Gave it the name of Troylous and Cres-eyde."

The book called _Troyle_ is Boccaccio's _Troilo_, or _Filostrato_.
