Scope & Content:

'GENETHLIACA Ducis Eboracensis': similar Westminster verses, in Latin and Engl., on the birth of James, Duke of York (James II, b. 13 Oct. 1633). One of the English pieces (f. 2 b) is by Abraham Cowley, then aged barely 15, though he had already written similar verses (cf. 12 A. LVIII) and his Poetical Blossomes were published in the same year. These lines are not included in the book, nor in Grosart's edition of his works (Edinburgh, 1881); they beg. 'Behould the silent night with happy birth'. The other writers, many of whom also contributed to "Sunodia", Cambridge, 1637, and other collections (see Welch, op. cit., and 12 A. LVIII), are : George Croyden [canon of Ch. Ch. 1666]. Lat. f. 5b. Peter Drinkwater [Trin. Coll. Camb., M.A. 1641]. Engl. and Lat. ff. 6, 11. Henry Gresley [Ch.

Ch., M.A. 1643; d. 1643]. Engl. f. 10. Robert Meade [Ch. Ch., M.D. 1646; the Royalist agent and dramatist]. Lat. f. 4 b. T. Morecocke [Trin. Coll.]. Lat. f. 6 b. Edward Morecroft [Ch. Ch.)
