Florilegius Epigrammatum Graecorum, Eorumque Latius Versu a Variis Redditorum. With the rare folding plate. FIRST EDITION. 12mo, full morocco extra, gilt leaves. £14 14s An excessively rare little volume, of which the importance has been greatly enhanced by the Baconian theory in regard to the authorship of Shakespeare's Plays. One of the pieces translated into Greek by Farnaby is a Parody on Shakespeare's "Seven Ages of Man," which he ascribes to Sir Francis Bacon. These English Verses of Bacon, commencing : The Worlds a Bubble, and the Life of Man lesse than a Span,” are given in full with Farnaby's Greek Version on opposite page. 6 The advocates of the Baconian theory dwell not a little on the statement of John Aubrey the antiquary:-" that Bacon was a good poet, but concealed,' as appeared by his letters. See excellent verses of his Lordship's which Mr. Farnaby translated into Greek, and printed both in his Anthology · The World's a bubble, and the Life of man lesse than a Span." Etc. The Verses of Bacon, of which Aubrey quotes the above opening lines, were a parody on certain Latin ones on the "Seven Ages of Man," and Bacon's English rendering is printed with Farnaby's Greek on opposite pages. |
