[ [21] In William Byrd's collection, entitled "Psalmes, Sonets, & songs of sadnes and pietie," 1588, 4to., is the song to which Cibber probably refers:—

"My Minde to me a Kingdome is."

Mr. Bullen, in his "Lyrics from Elizabethan Song-books" (p. 78), quotes it.

[ [22]

"And so many a time,

When I have spoke of you dispraisingly,

Hath ta'en your part."—"Othello," act iii. sc. 3.

[ [23] This is Gibber's first allusion to Pope's enmity. It was after the publication of the "Apology" that Pope's attacks became more bitter.
