A. Wood fays, he wrote against, or at least reflected upon Gabriel Harvey, in several of his writings; whereupon Harvey, not able to bear his abuses, inhumanly trampled on him after he was laid in his grave.

The following lines are extracted from a pamphlet published by Gabriel Harvey after Green's death, entitled "Foure Letters, and certaine Sonnets: efpecially touching Robert Greene and other parties by him abused, 4to. 1592."

"paftoral fongs, which were very much the "ftrain of those times."

He was defcended from thofe of his name in Lincolnshire; became a member of the univerfity of Oxford about 1573, and was foon diftinguifhed for his poetical talents. After taking one degree in arts, he left it for the metropolis, where he became celebrated for his fatirical powers. But not choofing to truft to the barren refources of the laurel, he applied himself trenuously to phyfic, and obtained great practice, efpecially among the Roman Catholics, of whofe perfuafion he was supposed to be. He exercised this profeffion in Warwick-lane, in the beginning of the reign of James I, and afterwards, on Lambert-hill, and removed thence a little before his death, to the parish of St. Mary Magdalen, in Old-Fish-street, where he died, (of the plague, it is supposed) in September 1625*.

Of the four dramatic pieces mentioned under the character of Green, (who is said to have asfifted in their compofition) it has fince been obferved, that three are printed anonimously, and the last was written on a particular occasion, which concurred two years after LODGE's death, and thirty-five after that of Greent.
