“The Mad Lover.”

Act iv. Masque of beasts:—

... “This goodly tree,

An usher that still grew before his lady,

Wither'd at root: this, for he could not woo,

A grumbling lawyer:” &c.

Here must have been omitted a line rhyming to “tree;” and the words of the next line have been transposed:—

... “This goodly tree,

Which leafless, and obscur'd with moss you see,

An usher this, that 'fore his lady grew,

Wither'd at root: this, for he could not woo,” &c.
