Dr. Strode's Poem

By R. A.

Dr. Strode's poem, beginning— "Return my joys, and hither bring—" which Dr. Rimbault does "not remember to have seen in print," is in Ellis's *Specimens*, iii. 173. ed. 1811. He took it from *Wit Restored*, p. 66. ed. 1658, or i. 168. reprint. It is the second poem mentioned by Dr. Bliss, *A.O.* iii. 152., as occurring with Strode's name in MS. Rawl. 142.
