CHURCHYARD AT THE SIGNE OF THE BISHOPS HEAD.

1590*

[* This date seems to be an error for 1591; or, as Mr. Craik suggests,

it may have been used designedly with reference to real events, not yet

ascertained, which furnished the subject of this very pleasing

allegory. The Visions of the Worlds Vanitie, which follow this piece,

may be suspected of a similar application. C.]
