_The Sun was sunk into the watery lap_ _Of her commands the waves, and weary there,_ _Of his long journey, took a pleasing nap_ _To ease his each daies travels all the year._ P. 23 gives “To _Daphne_ on his incomparable (and by the Critick incomprehended) Poem, _Gondibert_,” this consolation: “Chear up, dear friend, a _Laureat_ thou must be,” &c. Hobbes comes in for notice, on p. 24, and Denham with his Cooper’s Hill has another slap. The final poem, on p. 27, is “Upon the Author’s writing his name, as in the Title of his Booke, D’Avenant:”— 1. “_Your Wits have further than you rode,_ _You needed not to have gone abroad._ _~D’avenant~ from ~Avon~ comes,_ _Rivers are still the Muses Rooms._ _~Dort~, knows our name, no more Durt on’t;_ _An’t be but for that ~D’avenant~._ 2. _And when such people are restor’d_ _(A thing belov’d by none that whor’d)_ _My noches then may not appeare,_ _The gift of healing will be near._ _Meane while Ile seeke some ~Panax~ (salve of clowns)_ _Shall heal the wanton Issues and crackt Crowns._ _I will conclude, Farewell Wit Squirty ~Fegos~_ _And drolling gasmen ~Wal-Den-De-Donne-Dego~._ (Finis.)” Here, finally, are Waller, Denham, [Bro]de[rick], and Donne clearly indicated. They receive harder measure, on the whole, than D’avenant himself; so that the Second Volume of Satires, 1655, is neither by the author of “Gondibert,” nor by those who penned the “Certain Verses” of 1653. Q. E. D. Pages 101, 372. _I’ll tell thee, Dick, &c._ As already mentioned, the popularity of Suckling’s “Ballad on a Wedding” (probably written in 1642) caused innumerable imitations. Some of these we have indicated. In _Folly in Print_, 1667, is another, “On a Friend’s Wedding,” to the same tune, beginning, “Now _Tom_, if _Suckling_ were alive, And knew who _Harry_ were to wive.” In D’Urfey’s _Pills to Purge Melancholy_, 1699, p. 81: ed. 1719, iii, 65, is a different “New Ballad upon a Wedding” [at Lambeth], with the music, to same tune and model, beginning, “The sleeping _Thames_ one morn I cross’d, By two contending _Charons_ tost.” Like Cleveland’s poem, as an imitation it possesses merit, each having some good verses. Pages 111, 112. _The Proctors are two._ Among the references herein to Cambridge Taverns is one (3rd verse) to the Myter: part of which fell down before 1635, and was celebrated in verse by that “darling of the Muses,” Thomas Randolph. His lines begin “Lament, lament, ye scholars all!” He mentions other Taverns and the Mitre-landlord, Sam:— _Let the ~Rose~ with the ~Falcon~ moult,_ _While ~Sam~ enjoys his wishes;_ _The ~Dolphin~, too, must cast her crown:_ _Wine was not made for fishes._ Pages 115, 374. _’Tis not the silver, &c._
