The name ofCocke Lorrell (like Eclipse, of our p. 83) may have been borrowed, since Wyukynde Worde, so early as 1510, had printed Cocke Lorrells Bote, a satire in verse,reprinted for the Boxburghe Club in 1817; in 1841 ; and for the Percy Society,vol. vi. in 1843 (Early English Poetry, ed. E. F. Bimbault): and, since then,by J. P. Edmond, 1884.
