The chief characteristics of this translation is its eveness. You may read these mellifluous lines with something of the same simple pleasure which the original gives you. It is not strange that his contemporaries bestowed upon him their high approval. Puttenham paid him no more than his due when he described him as "in translation very cleare and very faithfully answering his author's intent." He won the rare and difficult praise of Thomas Nash, and he was honoured by SHAKESPEARE, who did not disdain to borrow of his verses. The lines which follow will recall to everyone a celebrated passage in The Tempest.

Sm. 4to, fine copy in half russia. £25 Dedication to Lord Charles Howarde, The Author's Preface (16 pp.). Thomas Newton (1542-1607), Poet, Physician, and Divine, was born at Butley, Cheshire; educated at Macclesfield Grammar School under John Brownsword, a celebrated master there. He went to Trinity College, Oxford, and Queen's College, Cambridge. He not improbably practised as a physician at Butley, and may have taught at Macclesfield School. In 1583 Queen Elizabeth presented him with the rectory of Little Ilford, Essex, from whence most of his later works are dated. Newton was a skilled writer of Latin verse, and wrote English verse with ease and fluency, and his translations from the Latin are of the best. All his books are now very scarce. The.xv. Bookes of P.
