In conjunction with him, this gifted woman is said to have translated the Psalms;[181] of which effort Daniel says:-- “Those hymns which thou dost consecrate to Heaven, Which Israel’s singer to his God did frame, Unto thy voyage eternity hath given, And makes thee dear to Him from whence they came.” Footnote 180: Joanna, Lady Abergavenny, Mary Arundel, Catherine Grey, Mary Duchess of Norfolk. See “Royal and Noble Authors.” Several of these are extant; one of them was published in the _Guardian_;[182] and it corresponds with a Psalm printed in the “_Nugæ Antiquæ_” as the Countess of Pembroke’s.[183] It has been regretted that these productions are not authorized to be sung in churches; for the present version, Mr. Hartley Coleridge remarks, “is a disgrace and a mischief to the establishment.” These translations are preserved in the library at Wilton. Footnote 181: Horace Walpole’s “Royal and Noble Authors,” vol. ii., p. 308. Footnote 182: No. 7. Footnote 183: Ibid. The Countess was residing there when the “Discourse of Life and Death,” by Mornay, which she translated from the French, was printed. This was in 1590, when Philip Massinger was six years of age. She survived until 1621; and, since she extended her patronage both to arts and letters, it is probable that she not only befriended Ben Jonson, but that she encouraged and assisted the struggling dramatist, whose father had been so favoured or retained in her husband’s house. Ben Jonson’s well-known lines on her tomb have challenged various criticisms. Whilst by some they are deemed a tribute “which have never been exceeded in the records of monumental praise,”[184] by another critic they are considered “too hyperbolical, too clever, and too conceited to be inscribed on a Christian’s tomb.”[185] Footnote 184: Note in Parke’s edition of “Royal and Noble Authors.” Footnote 185: Hartley Coleridge. “Underneath this marble hearse Lies the subject of all verse-- Sidney’s sister, Pembroke’s mother; Death, ere thou canst find another, Learned, and fair, and good as she, Time shall throw a dart at thee.”
