Notes and Queries, Number 53, November 2, 1850 by Various
page 25 of 64 (39%)
"Northerne Poems congratulating the King's Maiesties most happy
and peaceable entrance to the crowne of England.

'Sorrowe was ouer night
But joy came in the morning.'

'Serò, quamvis seriò,
Sat cito, si sat benè.'

'These come too late, though they import they love,
Nay, soone enough, if good enough they prove.'

Printed at London by John Windet for Edmund Weaver, and are to
be solde at the Great North doore of Paules, 1604. Small 4to."

Four leaves not numbered, and twenty-two pages numbered.

4. Can any account be given of a sort of autobiography by an individual
whom Lord Orford sneers at in his _Anecdotes of Painting_; it is
entitled:

"A Manifestation by Sir Balthazar Gerbier, K't. Job. xiii., ver.
18.; 'Behold now, I have ordered my cause, I know that I shall
bee justified.' London, Printed for the author, 1651." 12mo. 36
leaves and title.

This very singular production does not appear to have been published,
and I cannot trace it in any catalogue. It gives the author's descent,
which is noble, and contains many interesting personal details of Sir
Balthazar, which cannot be found elsewhere.
