III), being the second part of the poem, of which the first part is at University Coll., Oxford (MS. no. lxxxviii). Autograph. In Dict. Nat. Biogr. it is stated that the poem was finished in 1569, but was originally written 24 years before. A copy of the earlier version dedicated to William [Parr], Earl of Essex (cr. Dec. 1543), is in Add. MS. 34791. The present version is dedicated to Thomas [Howard], Duke of Norfolk (exec. 1572).

The title (f. 3) is 'The seconde part of the History of Joseph sunne to the holye Patryarke Jacob from the entrye of his delyueraunce oute of trobles into moste honorable estate', &c. Poem beg.

'Go, Joseph gentle: depryued thye Coate'.
