"As write mine authour _Lolius_."
_Troilus and Cresseide_, b. i.

"The Whichecote as telleth _Lollius_."
Ib. b. v.

"And eke he Lollius."--_House of Fame_, b. iii.

_Trophee._--Who or what was "Trophee?" "Saith Trophee" occurs in the
_Monkes Tale_. I believe some MSS. read "for Trophee;" but "saith
Trophee" would appear to be the correct rendering; for Lydgate, in the
Prologue to his Translation of Boccaccio's _Fall of Princes_, when
enumerating the writings of his "maister Chaucer," tells us, that

"In youth he made a translacion
Of a boke which is called _Trophe_
In Lumbarde tonge, as men may rede and se,
And in our vulgar, long or that he deyde,
Gave it the name of Troylous and Cressyde."

_Corinna._--Chaucer says somewhere, "I follow Statius first, and then
Corinna." Was Corinna in mistake put for _Colonna_? The

"Guido eke the Colempnis,"

whom Chaucer numbers with "great Omer" and others as bearing up the fame
of Troy (_House of Fame_, b. iii.).
