*.* This extraordinarily rare volume was written by Edward Fox, Bishop
of Hereford, according to Strype and Leland--_see the latter's encomium
upon it_. Lord Herbert supposed it to have been written by King Henry

fruyte as myght growe by redynge thereof, I thought it well-bestowed
labour to turn it into Englishe.

in the class of poets next to Spenser. The present volume acquires an
additional interest from being the _first production of the Author_,
