WILLIAM BROWXE, VITALIS, AND APULEIUS.

IN 11 S. v. 25 MR. T. F. DWIGHT pointed out the dependence of William Browne's ' On Rome as It Now Is ' on Du Bellay's ' Anti- quetez de Rome.' Of further interest is the fact that Browne's poem is not based directly on Du Bellay, but is a translation of Janus Vitalis's Latin rendering of Du Bellay's sonnet ("Muses' Library" edition of William Browne, ii. 300-301 and 351).

All commentators seem to have over- looked Browne's use in the Second Song of the third book of ' Britannia's Pastorals,' of the Cupid and Psyche myth of Apuleius.

The Second Song is prefaced by an eight- line ' Argument,' in which the poet keeps a promise from the First Song. He says : My reed is fitted, and I mean to play The fairies' song I promised yesterday ; And though for length I have it over-run, This was the matter, thus the elf begun. Whereupon, without acknowledgment to Apuleius, he begins the Cupid and Psyche story with the lines :

Of royal parents in a country rich

Were born three daughters, with all beauties crown'd.

In the stanzas that follow, the deserted altars of Venus, the divine honours paid to Psyche, the wrath of the goddess, her sum- moning of Cupid, her charge to him to marry Psyche to a monster, and the kiss she bestows on her son, are all described as in Apuleius. Differences are present, how- ever. Browne expands Apuleius's plain statement of Cupid's mischievous proclivi- ties by inserting several stanzas in which Cupid plays on the hearts of a maiden and a shepherd. On the other hand, Apuleius's long description of Venus's reception into the sea is shortened by Browne to two lines.

With Venus's departure, indeed, the narrative ceases ; the remainder of tho poem is concerned with a description of Psyche's beauty as it unfolds before the gaze of Cupid two differences, again, from Apuleius. Then, quite suddenly, the song
