The Survey of Cornwall - And an epistle concerning the excellencies of the English tongue by Richard Carew
page 27 of 369 (07%)
particularly with Sir Henry Spelman, who in an Epistle (*)
to him concerning Tythes, doth not a little extol him for
his Ingenuity, Vertue, and Learning. 'Palmam igitur cedo'
(saith he) '& quod Graeci olim in Caria fua gente, admirati
sunt, nos in Caria nostra gente agnoscimus, ingenium
splendidum, bellarumque intentionum saecundissimum, &c.'"

And a famous Scotch Poet (+)

"stiles him another Livy, another Maro, another Papinian,
and highly extols him for his great Skill in History, and
Knowledge in the Laws (Q)."

Mr. Carew

"died on the sixth day of November, in fifteen hundred and
twenty, and was buried in the Church of East-Antonie among
his Ancestors. Shortly after, he had a splendid Monument
set over his Grave, with an Inscription thereon, written
in the Latin Tongue (R)"

As I have not seen that Inscription, I cannot tell whether it be the
same with the following Epitaph, written by Mr. Camden (S), probably
at the Request of Mr. Carew's Family.
