[In Richardson's _Dictionary_, as well as in the _Encyclopædia
Metropolitana_, these lines are quoted under the word _Patriarch_,
as from _The Cock and the Fox_, by Dryden; whereas Bysshe, in his
_Art of English Poetry_, under the word _Oak_, refers us to
Dryden's _Ovid_. In neither of these pieces do they occur; our
correspondent, however, will find them in Dryden's _Palamon and
Arcite, or the Knight's Tale_, line 2334.]
_Olivarius._--Can any of your readers inform me what is the title of a
book written by Olivarius, a French astrologer, 1542, in which there is
a prophecy relative to France, and somewhat similar to that of St.
Cæsarius (p. 471.)? What was his christian name, and in what library is
the work to be found?
