***** FEAR I fhall tire your

I

readers with my account of Lovelace; but, having begun it, I cannot let it go imperfe&t; and, befides, have perhaps fome faint hopes that (through the channel of your publica tion, which is fo much attended to) this elegant poet may be brought to the recollection of the Editors of the Biographia Britannica, from the first edition of which he feems to be unfairly excluded. A fecond volume of Lucafa, containing his pofthumous poems, was published by his brother, Dudley Pofthumus Lovelace in 1659, London, printed by William Godbid, for Clement Darby. It has the following Dedication :

"Tothe Right Hon. JOHN LOVELACE, Efq.*

"SIR,

“ Lucasta (fair, but hapless maid !)
Once flourift underneath the shade
Of your illuftrious mother; now,
An orphan grown, the bows to you!
To You, ber vertues noble heir,
Oh may the find protection there;
Nor let her welcome be the lefs
'Cause a rough hand makes her addreffe,
One (to whom foes the Mufes are)
Born and bred up in rugged war ;
For conscious how unfit I am
I only have pronounc'd her name,
To waken pity in your breaft,
And leave her tears to plead the rest.
"Sir, your moft obedient fervant and
kinfm.,
Dudley-Pofthumus Lovelace."

This pofthumous publication (like
moft of the fame fort) adds no credit to
the poet's memory.
I can felect no-

thing from it worthy of praife, uplefs it be the following little tranflation:

King James, turned the affront to his own
"Theophile, being deny'd his addresses to
own glory in this epigram:

"Si Jaques, le Roi du fçavoir,
Ni trouve bon de me voir,

Voila la caufe infallible;
Car, ravy de mon efcrit,
Il crent que j'eftois tout efprit,
Et par conséquent invisible.”
"Lineally translated out of the French
"If James, the king of wit,
To fee me thought not fit,

Sure this the caufe hath been,
That, ravifh'd with my merit,
He thought I was all fpirit,

And fo not to be feen +"

These poems are followed by Elegies to the Author's memory, collected alfo with a frontifpiece, defigned by Lely, by his brother. London, printed 1660, and engraved by Faithorne. The wiiters are, Charles Cotton, James Howe!t, El. Revett, Symon Ognell, M.D. Co ningbrens, and his brother, who coucludes with the following Epitaph :

"Tread, reader, gently gently o'er
The happy duft beneath this floor:
For in this narrow vault is fet
An alabafter cabinet,

Wherein both arts and arms are put,
Like Homer's Iliad, in a nut;

Till Death, with flow and eafy pace,
Snatcht the bright jewell from the cafe,
And now transform'd he doth arife
A conftellation in the skies,
Teaching the blinded world the way,
Thro' night, to startle into day :

And shipwrackt shades, with steady hand,
He fteers unto th' Elizian land?

* According to Dugd. Bar. ÌI. 456, 457, Richard, first Lord Lovelace, of Hurley, died Apr. 22, 1634. John, his eldest fon, fucceeded, and married Anne, daughter of Thomas, Earl of Cleveland, to whom the first volume of Lucasta is dedicated. John, the eldest fon, the person abovementioned, married Martha, daughter and coheir of Sir Edmund Pye, of Bradenham, co. Bucks, bart. + Pp. 96, 97.
