_Wycherley's Verses on Plowden and Lady Sunderland._--In Phillips and

Herbert's _History of Shrewsbury_, pages from 263 to 266, vol. ii. 4to.

1837, giving an account of the ancient family of the Plowdens, and their

claim to the barony of Dudley, allusion is made to a passage in Baker's

_History of Northamptonshire_ respecting some comic verses of the poet

Wycherley on Plowden, of Plowden Hall, and the Countess of Sunderland. I

cannot find these verses in Wycherley's _Works_ in the British Museum.

Can any of your readers inform me where they are to be found? Baker

seems to allude to them as being well known in his time.
