COMPLIMENTARY VERSES, in Latin and English, to Charles I, upon his return from Scotland in 1633, by twenty-seven boys of Westminster School; cf. 12 A. XIII, mostly by the same boys. Among the English poems are two (ff. 2 b, 12) of Abraham Cowley, printed with slight changes in the 1636 edition of his Poetical Blossomes as the first two poems of Sylva, 'Greate Charles: there stop you trumpeters of fame', and 'Hence clowded lookes, hence brinie teares'. Of the others:
George Croyden (f. 3 b), Peter Drinkwater (f. 9 b), Henry Gresley (f. 3 b), William Herbert (f. 2 b), Robert Meade (f. 2), T. Morecocke (f. 5), John Nicholas (Engl. and Lat., ff. 3b, 8 b), Peter Samwayes (f. 4 b), Richard Sandys (f. 7 b), and William Towers (Engl., f. 5 b) are all noticed under 12 A. XIII. William Croyden, tutor of Trinity College, 1651 (f. 5 b), Henry Goldwell (f. 8), Dudley Williams (f. 11 b), and George Younge (f. 5) became scholars of Trinity College, Cambridge. Nathaniel Ducke (f. 6), Thomas Hookins (f. 11 b), Thomas Isham (f. 7), Samuel Jackson (Student 1635: expelled in 1648 and reinstated in 1660, M.D. by royal mandate 1671, f.7), Henry Ramsay (f. 5), and William Smith (f. 10) went to Christ Church, Oxford. Richard Lydall (f. 6 b) was elected to Trinity Conege, Cambridge, but went to Oriel College, Oxford, and became Warden-of Merton College 1693. Thomas Caldwell (f. 11) probably went to St. John's College, Cambridge, and afterwards to Magdalen Hall, Oxford. E. Haward (f. 10 b), N. Nelson (f. 7 b), L. Phillipps (f. 11 b), and T. Welfitt (f. 11) are untraced.
