Mary, born November 4, 1631; afterwards mother of William III.

September 1650 (see Vaughan's fine poem to her memory, Works by us,
_s.n._).

[122] The King (Charles I.) had the small-pox in 1632. This appeared
originally in the University Collection on the occasion, 'Anthologia in
Regis,' &c. (see Preface to present volume). Henry More and Edward King
('Lycidas') contributed also. G.
[123] See note to preceding poem. From Voces Votivæ &c. (see Preface to
this volume). G.
[124] From 'Delights of the Muses,' 1648, pp. 47-8; not in Turnbull. G.
[125] Turnbull gives simply as the heading 'Natales Principis Mariae.'
The date is Nov. 4, 1631. This Princess was born Nov. 4, 1631. G.
[126] From Tanner MS., as before; hitherto unprinted. See note to
preceding poem. G.
[127] Originally headed 'Natalis Ducis Eboracensis;' but altered as
above, as the English poem on this subject was so changed when other
children were born, and the earlier title became inapplicable. Appeared
originally in the University collection 'Ducis Eboracensis' &c. (see
Preface in present volume). This was afterwards James II. G.
[128] On 'Peterhouse' see our Memorial-Introduction, vol. i. and Essay
in the present volume. G.
[129] See Memorial-Introd. vol. i., and Essay in the present vol. as
below. G.
[130] Apparently the churches in the gift of the College. W.
[131] John Tournay was of Kent: B.A. 1623; M.A. 1627; B.D. 1634; elected
Fellow of Pembroke Hall 20th October 1627, and had the College title for
orders the same year (Loder's Framlingham, p. 250). See our Essay in
present volume on the group of College friends. G.
[132] See Memorial-Introduction, vol. i. and our Essay, for notices of
Brooke; also present volume for other poems, &c. addressed to him. G.
[133] Dr. Samuel Brooke, brother of Christopher Brooke, author of sweet
lines, as 'Tears,' and others. He died in September 1631. See note on
Dr. Mansell _ante_. G.
[134] For notice of Herres or Harris, see Essay in the present volume.
Curiously enough, in line 2, the original misprints 'tempe' for 'nempe,'
as in the 'Bulla' is misprinted 'nempe' for 'tempe;' and onward 'morte'
for 'mortem;' while 'Oratorem' and 'Poetam' are exchanged wrongly. In
the heading too it is 'Dominum' for 'Gulielmum.' G.
