BEN JONSON'S VERSES ON THE MARRIAGE OF THE EARL OF SOMERSET.
"They are not those, are present w'th theyr face, And clothes, and guifts, that only do thee grace At these thy nuptials; but, whose heart, and thought Do wayte upon thee: and theyr Loue not bought. Such weare true Wedding robes, and are true Freindes, That bid, God giue thee ioy and haue no endes W'h I do, early, vertuous Somerset, And pray, thy ioyes as lasting bee, as great. Not only this, but euery day of thine, W'th the same looke, or w'th a better, shine. May she, whom thou for spouse, to-day, dost take Out-bee y't Wife, in worth, thy friend did make: And thou to her, that Husband, may exalt Hymens amends, to make it worth his fault. So, be there neuer discontent, or sorrow, To rise w'th eyther of you, on the morrow. So, be yo'r Concord, still, as deepe, as mute; And euery ioy, in mariage, turne a fruite; So, may those Mariage-Pledges, comforts proue: And eu'ry birth encrease the heate of Loue. So, in theyr number, may you neuer see Mortality, till you immortall bee. And when your yeares rise more, then would be told Yet neyther of you seeme to th' other old. That all, y't view you then, and late; may say, Sure, this glad payre were maried, but this day.
"BEN JONSON."
JUNIUS AND THE QUARTERLY REVIEW.
J. Q. R.
SIMON OF SUDBURY, ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY.
In a niche in the vestry of St. Gregory's Church, Sudbury, Suffolk, is preserved the skull of the murdered archbishop: beneath the niche is placed the following inscription, which appears to me worthy of a place in your pages:--
"There was the same time in the Tower 600 warlike men, furnished with armour and weapon, expert men in armes, and 600 archers, all which did quaile in stomacke."
The rebels having entered, conducted themselves with unbridled license, and "with terrible noyse and fury" laid hands on the archbishop, "drew him out of the chappell," and proceeded at once to put him to death:
"He was slaine as ye haue heard, and afterwards buried in the Cathedral Church of Canterbury."
"The monument of Archbishop Sudbury, who was beheaded in 1381 , is in the northern aisle, nearly parallel with the altar; it bears no effigy, but is surmounted by a sumptuous canopy of very elegant architectural design, but now much mutilated."
This curious coincidence is at least worth noting.
I trust that the interest necessarily attaching to any remains of so celebrated an historical personage, will prove a sufficient apology to your readers for the length of this note.
W. SPARROW SIMPSON, B.A.
