PREFACE

Tu/ general intention and scope of this book will be
gathered from the Introduction which follows ; but after
that Introduction and most of the following pages were
printed off, the book received a most important addition
in the new set of marginalia drawn ffom Harvey's copy
of Speght's Cbaucer ( 598).
These marginalia in their bearing on the date of
ttamlet were discussed by Malone, Steevens, and Bishop
Percy (the possessor) in the cighteenth century. Since
then, it has been supposed that the book perished in
a tire at Northumberland House (see p. 86). Although
Mrs. Stopes assured me three years ago that this was
an error, I was no nearer getting access to the volume,
till Sir Ernest Clarke kindly informed me much more
recently that he had been permitted to see it at the house
of the lady who now owns it, herself a great-grand-
daughter of Bishop Percy. After some further corre-
spondence he was able to convey Miss Meade's very
kind invitation to me to see the book. This invitation
1 accepted with alacrity, and to crown my happiness,
Miss Meade most cordially allowed me to publish the
notes and photographic fac-similes. My readers will join
me in gratitude to her for her generosity, and to Sir Ernest
Clarke for his very great kindness in the matter.
The special interest which these marginalia bave is
twofold. First, they give Harvey's views of a later
group of English poets and writers than any whom he

viii Preface

mentions in the previous marginalia, and this group
includes Shakespeare. They are the most decisive
proof we bave of Harvey's openness of mind and
freedom from pedantry. Secondly, as was seen in the
eighteenth century, one note, that on pp. OE3 OE, OE33,
has a most important bearing on the date of Shakespeare's
Hamlet.
The following extract from J. o. Halliwell-Phillipps'
&Iemoranda on the Tragedy of Hamlet, i879 (kindly
copied for me by Sir Ernest Clarke) will show the
different views taken ofthe note at different times by
Emund Malone :D
p. 46: There was once in existence a copy of Speght's
edition of Chaucer, 1598 , with manuscript notes by Gabriel
Harvey, one of those notes being in the following terms:D
«'-l'he younger sort take much delight in Shakespear's Venus
and Adonis, but his Lucrece and his tragedy of Hamlet Prince
of Denmarke bave it in them to please the wiser sort.' This
note was first printed in 1766 by Steevens, who gives the year
1598 as the date of its insertion in the volume, but, observes
Dr. Ingleby, we are unable to verify Steevens' note or collate
his copy, for the book wbich contained Harvey's note passed
into the collection of Bishop Percy, and his library was burnt
in the tire at Northumberland House'.  Under these circum-
stances one can only add the opinions of those who bave had
the opportunity of inspecting the volume. Firstly, from a
lettcr of Percy to Malone, 18o3, 'In the passage wbich extolls
Shakespeare's tragedy Spenser is quoted by name among out
flourishing metricians. Now this edition of Chaucer was
 Itis curious that this statement should have been made again and again for
three-quarters of a century when, as Sir Ernest Clarke bas pointed out to me,
Joseph Cradock in his Literary and llisc«llaneous lernoir (8z8) had already
denied the fact. ' It bas becn asserted that Dr. Percy sustained great losses at the
tire at Northumberland house : but I [Cradock] vas present when his apartments
were in flames, and can nov explicitly declare that ail his books and papers vere
safely removed.' (I. p. 43-)

Preface ix

published in 598, and Spenser's deatb is ascertained to have
been in Jauary,  598-9, so that these passages were ail written
in  598, and provcs that Hamlct was writtcn before that year,
as ),ou have fixed it'. Secondly, from aletter from Malone to
Percy, written also in 8o3, in which he gives reasons for
controverting this opinion, when I was in Dublin I remember
),ou thought that, though Harvey had written 1598 in his
book, it did hOt follow from thence that his remarks were then
writtcn ; whilst, on the other hand, I contended that, from the
mention of Spenser, they should seem to have been written in
that year ; so that, like the two Reynoldses, 1 we bave changed
sides and each converted the other ; for I bave now no doubt
that these observations were written in a subsequent year.
The words that deceive are, our now  flourishing metricians, by
which Harvey does hot mean now living but now admired or
in vogue; and what proves this is that in his catalogue he
mixes the living and the dead, for Thomas Watson was dead
before 593- ,Vith respect to Axiophilus I think you will
agree with me hereafter that hot Spenser, but another person,
was meant. Having more than once named Spenser, there
could surely be no occasion to use an), mysterious appellation
with respect to that poet. My theory is that Harvey bought
the book in I598 on its pub}ication and then sat down to
read it, and that his observations were afterwards inserted at
various timcs. That passage, which is at the very end and
subjoined to Lydgate's catalogue, one may reasonably suppose
was hot written till after he had perused the whole volume'.
Third.ly, from Malone's observations on the date of the tragedy,
ed. I821, ii. 369, In a former edition of this essay I was
induced to suppose that Hamlet must have been written prior
lin Notes and Qu¢ries, 11 S. 1 viii, p. 3  (I6 Aug., 93), Professor Bensly
kindly explains this reference. According to Yullcr' Cbur«h Hitory, x, pp. 47, 48
(655) John Reynolds, or Rainolds, the author of Th" Overtbro of Stage Play
wa originally a Papier and his hrother William a Protestant. By mutual disputa-
tion they converted each other and so gave occasion to W. Alabaster's epigrarr
 Bella inter gcmino plusquam civilia fratres' &c. Anthony  Wood in his ltbenoe
(ed. Bliss» , 6  3) questions the truth of the story and says it tests on disputes carried
on betv¢een John and Edmund Rainolds, hOt however to the conversion of each
other.  The worà «now' àoes hot appear in the original MS.

x Preface

to 1598 , from thc loosc manner in wh/ch Mr. Stccvcns has
mentioned a manuscript note by Gabriel Harvey in a copy,
which had belonged to him, of Speght's edition of Chaucer, in
which, we are told, he has set down Hamlet as a performance
with which he was well acquainted in the year 598. But I
bave been favoured by Dr. Percy, thc possessor of the book
referred to, with an inspection of it; and, on an attentive
cxamination, I have round reason to believe, that the note in
question may have been written in the latter end of the year
6oo. Harvey doubtless purchased this volume in  598, having,
both at the beginning and end of it, written his name. But it
by no means follows that ail the int«rmediate remarks which
are scattered throughout were put down at the same time. He
.,peaks of Trans/ated Tasso in one passage; and the first edition
of Fairfax, which is doubtless alludcd to, appeared in  6oo.'
Everything turns, as Malone said, on the meaning
of the phrase 'our flourishing metricians', ls Harvcy
referring to men whom he believed at the moment to
be still alive ? or merely to men whose works were
still sought after ?
If the former, the note was clearly written before
January, I .ç99, the date of Spenser's death, about which
it was impossible for him tobe mistaken. We must,
however, then suppose that Owen's Epigrams though
hot published till 16o6 wcre already known to him in
manuscript: and furthera more difficult supposition
that he had forgotten that Thomas Watson had died
in I .9 OE. If thcse suppositions appear possible, we may
date the note I _9 8, the year in which the volume came
into his banals. No difficulty arises from the mention
of a translation of Tasso, for though Fairfax's translation
first appeared in I6OO, Carew's translation of part of
Tasso had been published in I .ç94-

Preface xi

If we consider I-Iarve), to bave included among
our flourishing metricians' men whom he knew to be
dead, the note ma), of course bave been written after
Spenser's death. But how long after ?
Malone says it 'may have been written in the latter
end of the year I6cc'. He gives no reason except
that Fairfax's Tasso had appeared in 16cc, and that in
itself would not exclude a much later date for the note.
Malone means, as I take it, merel), that the note for
the reason mentioned could not well have been written
before the end of 16cc. But could it bave been written
much after that ? To my mind the words 'The Earle
of Essex much commendes Albions England' are here
decisive. They imply that Essex was alive, and we
know that he perished in February, I6cI.
/kccordingly, interpreting ' our flourishing metricians'
to include men known to be dead, we arrive at the con-
clusion that Harvey's note was written between some
time in 1598 , when the Cb,Jucer came into his hands,
and February, 16ci.
The general result is that the note was certainl),
written before Februar),, 16ci, and possibl), in the
latter part of I598. Whenever the note was written,
Shakespeare's Hamlet was already well known: from
which it follows that the usually accepted date for the
first performance of the drama, 16coE, is almost certainl),
two years, possibly four years too late. That date has
been arrived at, I suppose, by three considerations:
first, that Meres in his Palladis Tamia (1598) knows
nothing of Hamlet; second, that the entry of the pla),

xii Preface

in thc Stationers' Register on OE6th July, 16ooE, contains
the words, 'as yt was latelie Acted by the Lo:
Chamberleyn his servantes'; third, that the passage
relating to the 'aery of eyases' (which, however, may
hot bave been in Shakespeare's original text) appears to
bclong to the end of 16Ol, or beginning of 16o°. 1
These considerations in themselves do not seem to
preclude the possibility that the play had appeared as
early at least as ,6oo, if hot as early as the end of
I598.
Ten years have passed since 1 began to collect
Harvey's marginalia, and it is hardly possible for me
to enumerate all the kind friends who have in different
ways and at different times assisted me in my work.
Certain of them, however, must not pass unmentioned.
The Rev. J. T. Steele, Vicar of Saffron Walden, kindly
gave me free access to the Registers of the Church,
while Mr. Voynich, Mr. Ellis of New Bond Street,
and Mr. F. T. Sabin allowed me permission to copy
marginalia from books in their possession at the time.
In copying the notes from Harvey's book in the Saffron
Walden Museum, I owed much to the kind attention
of the Curator, Mr. G. Maynard. I am indebted to
my friend Professor Gollancz and to the Committee
of the Saffron Walden Museum for trusting me for a
short time with their very valuable books. When 1
was at a distance and was in doubt about a reading, the
information was kindly sent me by Dr. R. B. McKerrow,
Mr. Walter Worrall of Oxford, or Mr. A. Esdaile or

I See CW. Wallace, Cbddren ofthe Chapd pp. 173-185.

Preface xiii

Mr. A. I. Ellis ofthe British Museum. To Dr. McKer-
row in particular I owe help, freely given, in many
different ways. Some of my notes corne from him :
still more from another friend, Professor E. Bensly
of Aberystwith, who in the kindest manner put his
extraordinary knowledge of out-of-the-way sources at
my service. Other problems were solved or illustra-
tions round for me by my friend and colleague, Pro-
fessor W. C. Summers of Sheffield, and by Mr. Bullen.
The notes so contributed are marked respectively
'R.B.M.,' 'E. B.,' 'W. C. S.,' 'A. H. B.'
Some valuable notes were kindly supplied to Mr.
A. H. Bullen by Mr. Charles Crawford. One or two
others came from my colleagues Mr. J. H. Sleeman and
Mr. A. Hermann Thomas. In the case of others again
I am indebted to the kindness of Professor Henry
Jackson, O.M., Sir John Sandys, and Mr. J. H. Hessels.
My thanks are due to the proprietors of the Essex
Review for permission to reproduce the illustrations of
John Harvey's house as conjecturally reconstructed,
and of the mantelpiece that undoubtedly belonged to it.
In conclusion, I cannot sufficiently express my sense
of the kindness, consideration, and sympathy which l

have received from Mr. Bullen in the course of the
work. It owes much to his sound judgment and
critical sense.

INTRODUCTION

TH object ofthis book is to illustrate the lire, character
and opinions of Gabriel Harvey by help of hitherto
unpublished material. This material taken together
with that round in Harvey's published works is so
abundant that it would not be strange if Harvey stood
out as the best known of all Elizabethan Englishmen.
His lire with its bright morning, its noonday storms,
and its long dull evening has a tragical and picturesque
interest, which is heightened by the feeling that the
causes of its failure lay in the man himself. And yet to
most students of English literature Harvey is merely
the Cambridge don who tried to induce Spenser to
write English verse in classical metres, or the man who
ungenerously attacked the dead poet Greene and round
more than his match in the brilliant Tom Nashe.
It might bave been thought that an editor of Harvey's
works would have striven to make his complex character
clear to other students ; but, unfortunately, Dr. Grosart
ruade no study of Harvey's character, and was content
to reiterate and reinforce the old taunts. Of late years,
it is true, there bave been some attempts to treat Harvey
more fairly and to understand him better. In a paper
called 'Spenser's Hobbinol,' published in 869, * the
late Professor Henry Morley defended Harvey's char-
acter against many misrepresentations, partly on new
evidence gathered from Harvey's marginalia in a copy
of Quintilian ; and Dr. J. Bass Mullinger earned the
gratitude of later students by the lire of Harvey which

Introduction

he contributed to the Dictionary of National Biograph.v.
I may, perhaps, claim that in my edition of Pedantius
(IgOç),  by showing that the comedy confirmed the
general truth of Nashe's picture, I contributed some-
thing towards our knowledge of the manner of man
that Harvey was. Finally, Dr. R. B. McKerrow in his
monumental edition of Nashe's IP'orks studied the
Harveys (hot Gabriel only, but his brothers as well), with
that acuteness, soundj udgment and masterly knowledge
of everything beari**g on his subject which makes lais
work a perpetual delight to those who corne after him.
Dr. McKerrow, however, was hOt dealing with Har-
vey for Harvey's own sake, but with Harvey in his
relation to Nashe, and it was naturally hot necessary for
him to make use of the great mass of material for a
knowledge of Harvey's life, reading, literary tastes, and
ethical principles which he has left us in manuscript,
especially in notes inscribed in his books. Some of
Harvey's manuscript writings have indeed seen the
light : his' Letter-book' bas been printed by Dr. E. J. L.
Scott :  his notes in his Quintilian have been drawn
on by Professor Henry Morley  : those in his copy of
Gascoigne's Certayne Notes of Instruction by Professor
Gregory Smith 4 : those in his copy of Hoby's Courtier
(which I have hOt seen) have lately been published
by Miss Caroline Runtz-Rees.  But the great mass
of Harvey's manuscript notes has hitherto escaped
attention: and I now publish the present selection
because I believe that, in the light which they throw,
the secret springs of Harvey's character and conduct
will be revealed as they have never been revealed before.

The marginalia are therefore the essential part ofthe
present book. To make them, however, the more intel-
ligible to readers who corne fresh to the subject, 1 havc
prefixcd to them a short study of Harvey's lire and
character, which I think will here and there supplcment
or correct the accounts of Harvcy already existing.
Whcther it will be considcred f'avourablc to Harvey,
I neither know nor care. Enough ifit hclps thc reader

4 Gabriel Harvey

G/tI3RIEI. HARVEV, son of John Harvey, yeoman, of
Saffron Walden, was born about 15 5 °. Unfortunately the
Registers of Saffron Walden do not extend further back
than I558 , and there may have been more than one
John Harvey as the head of a family in the town. It
is therefore rather difficult to determine how many
brothers and sisters Gabriel had, but the following, at
least, belonged to the family :
Gabriell d. Feb., 163o-I.
Alice, married Richard Lyon, yeoman, of Saffron Wal-
den, 16 July, 157 o. Ofthis marriage the following
children were born :--Gabriel, bap. 7 Mar., 1573-4,
bur. 4 Sept., 1578 ; Mary, bap. I8 Sept., I575 ;
Margret, bap. "2_ 7 Dec.,  576 ; Richard, bap. 26 Oct.,
i578 ; Mary, bap. 9Jan. , I58O-i ; Alice, bap. oE Apr.,
1583 ; Gabriel, bap. OE3 June, 1586, and John, bap.
-9 Nov., 1588. Ofthese Richard and the younger
Gabriel (a notary public) were alive in 1634. * Their
father died before 1613-4 when his daughter Mary
of St. Dunstan's in the West, London, was to be
married by licence to Thomas Gwillim, Merchant
Taylor.
M ercy, probably of about seventeen or eighteen years
of age at Christmas, 1574-
Richard, bap. 15 Apr., 1560, d.  630.
John, bap. 13 Feb., 1563-4, d. July, 1592. Married

* The name Gabriel is hot infrequent in the Saffron Walden registers.
-" See Harleian Sociey' Publ., rvii. p. 7-

Martha, daughter of Mr. Justice Meade, by whom
he left two daughters, Joan and Elizabeth.
Mary, bap. 15 May, I567 . Married Phillip Collin
3 I Mar., 16oo. The latter, at least, and some sons
were alive in 163 I.
In addition the following may bave belonged to the
family :
Christian Harvie, infant, bur. 19 Feb., 558-9 .
Margaret 'daughter of John Harvey', bap. 6 Jan.,
156OE-3, bur. OE I Feb., 156OE-3 .
John 'sonne of John Harvey', bur. OEo July, I57O.
Thomas 'son of John Harveye', bap. 6 Sept., i567.
Alice 'daughter of Mr. John Harvey', bur. 6 Aug.,
I59I.
We know that one brother besides Gabriel, Richard,
and John lived to grow up, l and was apparently alive
in 1595. If this was Thomas, baptised 6 Sept., I567,
four months after the baptism ofMary Harvey, we must
suppose either that Mary's baptism had for some reason
been deferred, or that the two children were twins, and
for some reason Thomas's baptism was deferred. Tom
Nashe writes in I595  :-- A¥other brother there is,
whose naine 1 have forgot,' and Dr. McKerrow suggests
to me that Nashe round it convenient to forget it, as it
was the saine as his own. Further in a passage ofa letter
of Harvey's dated 15753: ' which words . . . my brother
Nedd, being a grammer scholler can hot finde, he saythe,
in all his dictionary, which kost my father at the least xx
good shillinges and twoe,' it is noticeable that the words
my brother Nedd' are a correction and that Harvey first
wrote my brother Tom' If the fourth brother was
born in 1567 it is natural to find him a grammar-school
boy in 1575-

i Gabriel writes of his father : 'Four sonnes him cost a thousand pounds at
lest.' Vorks (Grosart), i. z51.  IVors McKetow), iii. 58.  Letter-boo,p. 94-

6 FmiIy

Although we have hitherto only heard ofjurbrothers,
it is quite possible that John who died in July, 1570, had
also belonged to the family : and that we bave a case such
as was by no means uncommon in the sixteenth century
oftwo children ofthe same family bearing the same name.
This would also be the case if Alice, buried 6 August,
i.çgI , belonged (as probably she did) to the family. She
is described as daughter of '14r. John Harvey'mand
two years later, on OE 5 July,  593, the registers record the
burial of' Mr. John Harvey'--undoubtedly Gabriel's
father. \Ve know that the mother still survived : and
probably she was the' Mrs. Alse Harvey'who was buried
on the I4 April, I6I 3. It would seem likely, therefore,
that the names John and Alice (or Aise), borne by the
parents, were both given to two several children.
The whole family would then consist of Gabriel [b.
ci?c. I _ 50], Alice [Lyon] lb. «irc. 155 I], John, Alice,
Mercy lb. circ. I556], Christian lb. I558"-9] , Richard
[b. I56o], Margaret lb. 562-3], John [b. t563-4],
Mary, Thomas lb. I567].
We do hot know the maiden-name ofGabriel's mother,
but the Harveys were related to the family of Gyver
in Saffron Walden. 1 They claimed relationship also with
Sir Thomas Smith, Secretary of State under Edward V1
and Elizabeth. Sir Thomas was a native of Saffron
XValden, but the degree of relationship is impossible
to determine.
For a man with a large family John Harvey was fairly
wcll-to-do. He is described in legal documents as a
'yeoman', owning land and houses in Walden.-" Before

-* See a document in the Record Office 'Chancery Proceedings, znd Series

' he says he is 'seysed by coppy of courte Roull . . . in diverse customarye

572 he had held the chief oflîce in his town .1 he sup-
ported three sons at Cambridge and one elsewhere, with
great charges2: and at the end of his lire, as we bave
seen, he was designated CMr., in the church register.
His bouse was situated on the site ofthe present Cattle-
market, a little below the Market place. Part of it
became an inn, 'The Eight Bells, 's and was hot demol-
ished till 1855 , when it was round to contain two
chimney pieces carved in clunch. These were transferred
to the Saffron Walden Museum, where they may still
be seen, along with a small oak window from the saine
house. The more remarkable of the mantels illustrates
the trade ofrope-making which John Harvey carried on
in addition to his farming, and which was perhaps the
chier source of his wealth. To quote in part from Dr.
Grosart and in part from Mr. Goddard :
' The frieze which is in high reliefis divided into three
compartments by means of two trees :
ALIIS NON NOBIS NEc ALIIS NEC NOBIS ALll5 ET NOBIS
Ox with pack Three men making ]3ees at work

Nos'rRI PLACENTE[S] [S]UNT LaBOR[ES]
The middle compartment also contains all the adjuncts
to a farmyard--somewhat mutilated--e.g., the end of
a bouse, a bullock or cow, yard with the head of a cow
peeping out, a pig, poultry, bullock and corn and (seem-
ingly) flax or hemp : also a plant of saffron, whilst on
a tree hangs a satchel.' As Dr. Grosart says, it is pleasing

I In the Charter of Incorporation of Walden which was obtained in 1549-5o
and confirmed in 15ç 3 and 1558 , the body politic is described as «The Treasurer,
Chamherlains T,enty-four Assistants and Commonalty.' Brayhrooke's History of
ludley End, p. zç3. " Harvey's 142"orks (Grosart), i. 16o.
a Lord Braybrooke in his HistÇry of/ludley End (1836), already speaks of «the
removai of the mart for cattle to a yard at the south end of East St. formerly the
Eight Bells public house» the site of which was purchased in 183 I.'

8 Date nf Gabriel's Birth

to see that the rope-making was held for honest labour,
hot stigma, both by the old man and by Gabriel, if--as
is likely--he supplied the Latin mottoes.
I have said that Gabriel Harvey was born «about
1550'. Such a date would be most consistent with the
year of his matriculation, I566. It also agrees with a
phrase used by Harvey in April, 573, 'it will be the
worst spring that hapnid to me these xxii years,' and
with his New Year's lines enclosed in his letter to
Spenser of OE3 April, I58o , 'O that I had you three
[-ç'ertue, Fame, and ,Vealth] with the loss of thirtie
Commencementes,' though the sentiment approaches
nonsense. -" Two reasons have been adduced for putting
his date ofbirth some years earlier: one, Nashe's account
of him in Have with you 3 (written apparently in I595)
as 'of the age of fortie eight or vpwards' ; the other,
Harvey's statement that Lord Oxford in the prime ofhis
gallantest youth bestowed angels upon him in Christ's
College.  As Lord Oxford was at Cambridge at the time
of the Queen's visit in August, 1564, it is thought that
this must have been the occasion on which he bestowed
charity on Harvey, who must therefore bave already
joined the University, though not yet matriculated.
With regard to the first argument, not much weight can
be attached to Nashe's loose account ofhis opponent's age.

Hall, within a short distance of Saffron Walden, till

and have had some ground for taking an interest in the
young Essex scholar.
John Harvey's children, like the children of other
farmers, took their share in the work of the farm. *
For the boys» however, the Grammar School of Saffron
Walden, founded in I5oE5, opened a vista of higher
things.  Nashe in his humorous sketch of Gabriel's
lire tells us that already at school he acquired that ' faire
Romane hand' which many a writing-master might
envy :--that he was argumentative and quarrelsome
'a desperate stabber with penknivcs'; that he wrote
ballads ; and called forth the enthusiastic admiration of
lais schoolmaster. Much of this is no doubt true, and
it was as a brilliant schoolboy that he was matriculated
from Christ's College, Cambridge, on 28 June, 1566.
His college expenses were largely defrayed by his father,
but were partly met by the generosity of Sir Thomas
Smith, and of Sir Walter Mildmay, who founded some
exhibitions at Christ's College in 1569 .« Harvey tells
us of the Latin letters which he was accustomed to

I The above statement owes something to a letter which Dr. H. P. Stokes
kindly sent me some years ago on the subject of Harvey's age.

IO .,tt Pembroke with Spenser

write to this latter benefactor.  In IS69-7o, Harvey
took his bachelor's degree, his naine appearing as 9th
out of 114 in the Ordo Senioritatis.  On 3 November,
I S7O , having failed to become a fellow of Christ's, he
was elected, through Sir Thomas Smith's influence,  to
a Fellowship at Pembroke Hall.
Tall, dark, and handsome, 4 a passionate student,
conscious of his superiority, and thirsting with unsatis-
fied ambitions--the faults of his character which were
to mat all hot yet clearly developedmGabriel Harvey
was singularly qualified to win the enthusiastic attach-
ment of some younger man of high soul and ardent
imagination. Such an admiring friend Pembroke gave
him in Edmund Spenser, a young Londoner, now a
student in his second year, and therefore three years
below Harvey in academical standing, though perhaps
only a year or two his junior in age. Already Spenser
had published a series ofsonnets, although anonymously,
and for that reason alone must bave been a marked man
among his fellow-undergraduates. Harvey no doubt
fclt the attraction of his genius and lofty character ; and
between the two sprang up a friendship in which each
had much to give and much to receive.
This friendship with an undergraduate was all the
more valuable to I-Iarvey because he was hot popular
with the other fellows of his college. He was ruade
aware of this when in the spring of 1573 he was ready
to take his M.A. degree. An unusual obstacle was put
in his way, certain of the fellows of Pembroke refusing
their consent to the grace being proposed. Whcn
Harvey inquired into the cause of this proceeding, he
found that charges of very various kinds were brought

)pposition to Ha»vey t 

against bi,n. He was arrogant and unsociable,--in the
Christmas holiday time he would rather read his books
by himself than play cards in company. He was over-
critical, ever in extremes of blame or praise. He vould
defend paradoxes even against Aristotle, and it was to
be feared that this singularity in philosophy would grow
dangerous if he turned to study divinity. It was even
said that he had been heard to commend puritans and
precisians. Harvey denied that he had ever praised
puritans quâ puritans, or had himself maintained any
particular point ofpuritanism. Ifhe had dissented from
Aristotle, his dissent had been mainly from four only
of Aristotle's positions, and in this he had followed
Melanchthon, Ramus and other moderns. On this
point at any rate we shall hot be severe on Harvey. As
Dr. McKerrow bas well said : ' The charge of maintain-
ing paradoxes and strange opinio,s is perhaps the most
honorable that can be brought against a scholar or a
scientist : it is a charge which bas been brought against
every man who bas contributed to the progress of the
world, and never yet was a nonentity so accused.'l But
how about the charge of arrogance and unsociability ?
Dr. McKerrow again rightly draws attention to Harvey's
reply. He was 'aferd les over mutch familiariti had
mard al'he had at first been 'as sociable, and as gud
a feIIow too, as ani,' but some had hot taken it weI1, so
that he had had to withdraw himself ' althouh hot greatly
nether" out of continual company. Harvey, as an egotist,
a man feeding his soul on books and vast dreams, was
perforce a being apart, except vith younger men like
Spenser who would look up to him as a master. If he
had been a man ofgood birth and a gentleman by nature,
he could have been what he was and still kept on good

terms with lais equals. But with all his lofty ambitions,
he was a parvenu, without that instinctive sense of
the happy mean in bearing and conduct which saves
a natural gentleman from ridicule or dislike. Even in
his letters to the Master ofhis College, Dr. Young, who
was his firm friend, we see a want of savoir-faire a
tendency to praise the Master according to the forms of
rhctoric,--which was unbecoming in a man in Harvey's
position. His Saffron Walden breeding had made him
a scholar, but it had hot taught him how to behave
himsclf modestly and easily in society. The defect
might have been ruade good if Harvey had had any
sense of humour ; without such a sense--and no man
was ever more deficient in it than Harvcy--the defect
was incurable.
For a time his brilliance as a scholar carried him
through, at least with those who could appreciate his
high qualities and were hot brought in daily contact
with him. Even in the present difficulty friends stood
by him. Humphry Tindal, fellow of Pembroke, and
aftêrwards President of Queens', rode to London and
spokc with the Master, Dr. Young, and the latter wrote
on Harvey's behalf to the fellows. His letters seem
to bave rather irritated than mollified the cabal; but
he then came down to Cambridge in person, and in a
(ew days crushed ail opposition. Harvey received the
desired degree, and the Senior Proctor, Walter Allen,
a nqember of his old college, Christ's, gave him unso-
licited the first place in the Ordo Senioritatis.  Some
fresh opposition was in store for him when, in October,
hê entered on the office of college lecturer in Greek,
to which he had been appointed by the Master : but

 The above account is bascd on the Lettcr-book and on Grace BookA, p. 262.
" Like most fcllows of colleges, ho was also a tutor. Cf. L«tter-book, p. 47, mine

University Pr/ector in Rbetoric  3

again the incident shows Harvey at his best. There is
the tone ofa true scholar in his words to Dr. Young of
 November, 573: 'For the bestowing of the lecture,
do in it as you shal think best for the behoof of the
collidg. For mi part, I am the more desirus ofit, I must
needs confes, bicaus ofthe stipend, which, notwithstand-
ing, is hOt great : and yet suerly I wuld refuse no pains
to do the schollars good, and to help forward lcrning in
the meanist, if there wcre no stipend at al.'1
Meanwhile he was obtaining recognition outside his
own collcge. On z3 April, x 574 he was marie University
Proelector or Professor in Rhetoric,  after having lectured
as deputy sincc the beginning of Lent,  and he secms
to bave been re-elected to the office for the years  574-5,
and 575-6. 4 In this capacity he instructed practically
ail the first year students of the University, lecturing
in the Public Schools. Itwould seem that the first lecture
ofthe course was a Latin oration on Rhetoric in general,
after which thc lecturer expounded a work of Cicero or
some other author.
Two inaugural lectures Harvey published in 577,
the one called Ciceronianus, the other (divided over two
days) Rbetor. No scholar can read these discourses
without surprise and admiration for Harvey's command
ofthe Latin language, his eloquence, his scholarly open-
mindedness and readiness to learn, and his extraordinary
width ofreading. The Ciceronianus or Oratiopost Reditum
was published in J une,  577, but was delivered, I imagine,
in January, 575, when the University re-assembled
after being dissolved for a term on account of plague.
It is accompanied by a letter to William Lewin, who had
been a Fellow of Christ's in Harvey's time, and had
I L¢¢ter-boo, p. 5¢"  Grace Boo A, p. z7¢. 3 L¢tt¢r-book, p.  76.
 In his copy of Quintilian {in the British Museum) Harvey describe himelf as
«Rhetoricu Professor Cantabrig.  çT],  74  ç7ç," and the note as far as thc year
 75 is concerned, is confirmed by the Lansdowne MS., xx. 77.

14 Harvey's Ciceronianus

himself also been Proelector in Rhetoric, but had now
left the paths ofscholarship for those ofthe law. Lewin's
reply, also printed in the book, testifies to his high
opinion of Harvey. He says that he is but a youth
(adbuc adulescentem), but that if he had persisted in
his office of Proelector, he would have produced both
for himself and the whole University incredible fruit
and glory.  In the speech which follows, Harvey says he
has been for nearly twenty weeks in his Tusculan villa,
i.e., at his father's house at Saffron Walden, assiduously
studying hot only the greatest ofthe old Roman writers,
but renaissance writers such as Sturm, Manutius,
Osorius, Sigonius and Buchanan. He had given more
time to Cicero than to all the rest put together, yet
sometimes he had dropped Cicero on Friendship to
take up Osorius on Glory, if only to detect the secrets
of Cicero's superiority. There had been a time when,
like some of the earlier Renaissance scholars, he had
been a pure Ciceronian--he had dragged tags from
Cicero into his Latin letters to Sir Walter Mildmay,
and had been unable to endure any praise of Erasmus,
because his Latin was so impure. He had valued authors
hot for their substance, but solely for their style. He
had then corne across the Ciceronianus of Sambucus--
that had led him to the Ciceronianus of Ramus--and
Ramus had given him new eyes. He now read Coesar,
Varro, Sallust, Livy, Pliny and Columella, and found
merits in ail. He began to find imperfections in Cicero,
though still he felt that he was in the main the chief
model for imitation. He was reconciled to renaissance
writers such as Erasmus, Picus Mirandola, and Politian.

1 A private letter of W. Lewin to Harveywritten hefore the other--is given hy
Baker frorn a copy in Harvey's own hand (Camb. Unir. Library, Baker MSS., xxxvi.
p.  o). Here Lewin says that after his father-in-law, Byng, no one in the University
is dearer to him than Harvey.

and Rhetor I 5

He now cried--Away with those who treat all but
Italians as barbarians, we will set against the Italians
Ramus, Erasmus, Sturm, Freigius, Sir Thomas Smith
and Sir John Cheke. Let a man learn to be hot a
Roman but a Frenchman, German, Briton or ltalian.
His hearers must strive hOt only tobe authors ofwords,
but actors of deeds, they must learn from Cicero hot
only rhetoric but dialectic, hOt only what he says, but
why he says it. To-morrow they would hear Cicero
himself.
The other two orations, called the Rbetor, were
published in November, 1577- The work was dedicated
to Bartholomew Clarke, another Cambridge scholar who
had found a career, as Harvey secretly hoped to do, in
the great world of London. In this he extends his praise
beyond the great Latin writers to writers in vernacular
tongues--to Dante, Petrarch, Boccaccio, Sannazaro,
Ariosto--to our own Chaucer, More, Eliot, Ascham
and Jewel. Both speeches were delivered apparently at
the Comitia, the Bachelors' Commencement, in March.
Next day he would begin to study with his pupils the
great writers on Rhetoric.
As Professor Morley said,  such lectures are hOt the
lectures of a pedant--they are the work of a strenuous
open-minded student and of an inspiring teacher.
After the publication of the Ci«eronianus, Harvey
received a letter from Thomas Hatcher,  in which, after
saying that from their first acquaintance, he had seen in
him the image both of an honest man and a most polished
writer, he complained that no mention had been made
of Walter Haddon in Ciceronianus. Harvey replied that
a similar complaint might be ruade in regard to Ascham,
Christopherson, Linacre, Thomas More, Richard Pace:

- Hatchet in  567 had edited the Lucubration« ofWalter Haddon.

 6 M«rcy ltarvey's Love-affair

while he thought highly ofHaddon, he would put Smith
and Cheke in the first place, and Haddon in the second
or third. From Hatcher's letter it seems that Harvey
some time before had stayed with him at his house at
Carebury, near Stamford.*
We have now reached the year x577 ; but a word
should perhaps be given to an incident in Harvey's lire,
which he has narrated with curious minuteness in his
Letter-book,  riz., the attempts ruade, about Christmas,
I574, on the virtue of his sister Mercy, then a girl
prohably of seventeen or eighteen, by a young lord,
now identified as Philip, Lord Surrey, a married man
of seventeen-and-a-half.3 The story ends with a letter
written by Gabriel to the young nobleman, which one
must hope put an end to his pursuit, and rescued Mercy
from a position in which her own conduct had been
somewhat ambiguous. Harvey no doubt has the inci-
dent in his mind when in his copy of Erasmus' Parabolw
to the words 'stultis magnifica fortuna iniucunda', he
adds the note, ' you knowe, who vsed to write : Vnhappy
Philip'. We may perhaps connect with Mercy's story,
the letter written by Harvey from Pembroke Hall on
0_ 9 March of some unknown year to Lady Smith, Sir
Thomas Smith's wife, * asking ber to take one of his
sisters into her service.
In July,  576, Spenser took his M.A. degree and lefi
Cambridge for the North of England. Perhaps Harvey
accompanied him on hisjourney ; at any rate we find that
he was in York in August of that year : "' and probably
in coming or goinghe paid his visit to Hatcher at
Carebury. In August, 1577, Sir Thomas Smith died.

There seems to be no reason to doubt Harvey's state-
ment that Smith was in some way related to him: he was,
as we know, his kind friend and adviser, and Harvey
had stayed at his house, a Harvey was informed of his
death and attended his funeral at Theydon Mount,
Essexwan occasion on which he gave a sharp answer to
Dr. Perne, Master of Peterhouse, who had called him
a fox for having induced Sir Thomas' widow to present
him with some rare manuscripts.  Perne, according to
Harvey, was henceforth his lifelong enemy. On the day
after the funeral, in an inn in London, Harvey began
to write a series of Latin elegies on Smith which were
published next year as Smitbus, velMusarum Lacbryme.
Like his other Latin verses they show great facility, but
no poetical feeling. Harvey was a rhetorician--perhaps
we may say, a philosopher and statesman--but not
a poet. 3 The collection was prefaced by a letter to
Harvey's other patron, Sir Walter Mildmay; it closed
with some verses to his younger brother and pupil,
Richard Harvey, now an undergraduate of Pembroke
and all but B.A., and some further verses purporting to
have been addressed by Richard to his elder brother and
tutor. It became characteristic of the Harveys that, in
all they did, they brought their brothers on to the field
with them.
The year  578 saw perhaps the culmination of Gabriel
Harvey's early career of brilliant success. On 26 July,
Queen Elizabeth visited Audley End, the great house

of Smitbus wel lFlusarum Lcbrym,e in the Library of Trinity College, Cambridge,

C

close to Saffron Walden, and for a day or two Audley End
became the seat ofthe University. It was a testimony to
Harvey's position at Cambridge as a scholar and Latin
orator that he was one of those chosen to dispute before
the Court, especially as Dr. Howland had written z some
days before to Lord Burleigh, 'Theactorsaresuch as I do
hOt doubt but will greatly commend themselves, and
delight the hearers'. With the Queen were Burghley,
Chancellor of the University, the Earl ofLeicester, his
nephew Philip Sidney, Lord Oxford and others of the
noblest and most famous ofthc land. Doubtless Harvey
saw in this gathering an opportunity for commending
himself to some illustrious patron and, inspired by the
example of Sir Thomas Smith, Sir John Cheke, Lewin
and Clarke, hoped to exchange the shades of a College
for the sunshine of the Court. Already he could call
Lord Leicester his special lord or patron. Who gave him
the introduction we do hOt know, but he seems to have
been in comcxion with Leicester as early as  576.  He
now probably ruade the acquaintance of Philip Sidney,
and was fascinated, as ail were who came within the
circle of that grave and noble spirit. Ho was ata dance
with ladies of the Court and, greatest triumph of all,
attracted the notice of the Queen who asked Leicester
who he was, remarking that he had the look of an Italian,
and allowing him to kiss her hand.
Was Harvey's modesty proofagainst this intoxicating
experience ? Or did the farmer's son show beneath the
fine clothes, exciting the smiles and scorn of those who
watched him ?

This is the account that Nashe gives ofhis behaviour :
I haue a talc at my tungs end.., of his hobb}'-horse reuelling
& dominering at ludley-end, when the Queene was there ; to
which place Gabriill(to doo his countre}' more worship & glor}')
came rufling it out huffty tuffty in his suite of veluet. There
be them in Cambridge that had occasion to take note of it, for
he stood noted or scoard for it in their bookes man}' a faire da},
after. . .
There did this out Talatamtana or Doctour Hum, thrust
himselfe into the thickest rankes of the Noblemen and Gallants,
and whatsoeuer they were arguing of, he would hot misse to
catch hold of, or strike in at the one end, and take the thearne
out of their mouths, or it should goe hard. In selle saine order
was hee at his pretie toyes and amorous glaunces and purposes
with the Damsells, & putting baudy riddles vnto them. In fine,
some Disputations there were, and he ruade an Oration belote
the Maids of Honour...
The proces ofthat Oration, was of the saine woofe and thrid
with the beginning: demurely and maidenly scoflîng, and blush-
ingly wantoning & making loue to those soft skind soules &
sweete Nymphes of Heli«on ; betwixt a kinde of careless rude
ruflîanisme, and curious finicall complement : both which he
more exprest b}' his countenance, than anie good jests that hec
vttered. This finished.., by some better frends than hec was
worthie of, and that afterward round him vnworthie of the
graces they had bestowed vpon him, he was brought to kisse
the Queenes hand, and it pleased ber Highnes to say.. that he
lookt something like an Italian. No other incitement he needed
to rouze his plumes, pricke up his eares, and run away with the
bridle betwixt his teeth, and take it vpon him.., but now he was
an insulting Monarch aboue A4onarcha the Italian, that ware
crownes on his shooes ; and quite renounst his naturall English
accents & gestures, & wrested himselfe whol}' to the Italian
puntilios, speaking out homely Iland tongue strangely, as if he
were but a raw practitioner in it, & but ten daies belote had
entertained a schoole-master to teach him to pronounce it.
Ceremonies of reuerence to the greatest States (as it were hot

that looke highest.., follows the traine of the delicatest fauorites

Harvey himselfwas unaware that he had exposed himself
to ridicule. He rejoiced in his apparent conquest of all-
powerful friends, and when all was over, sat down to
complete his success by celebrating in verse the events
in which he had played a part. So we bave from his
pen a new volume of facile Latin verse, the Gr,tula-
tiones l'aldinenses. It is in four books, each presented
separately to a different person whose favour he would
conciliate--the first book to the Queen (to whom Harvey
also presented the printed work at the bouse of
Mr. Capell in Hertfordshire), * the second to Leicester,
the third to Burghley (his separate copy in Harvey's MS.
is now in the British Museum),S the fourth to Lord
Oxford, Sir Christopher Hatton, and Philip Sidney. A
poem is devoted to the Queen's remark that he looked
like an Italian, another to his having kissed her hand,
another to the ladies of the Court. He urges rather
indiscreetly the Queen's marriage with Leicester, who,
unknown to Harvey, was already secretly married to
the Countess of Essex. He addresses Sidney in tones
ofwarm affection. The book concludes characteristically
with an epigram addressed to Gabriel himself by his
brother Richard. The whole shows Harvey's eagerness
after the favour of the great, and his lack of restraining
good-sense. With all his great qualities, he was his own
worst enemy.

Devotes bimself to Civil Law OE t

II

WHEI Harvey was introduced to the Queen by Lord
Leicester, it was as a man who was about to go abroad
in Leicester's service. 1 For some reason or other, this
project fell through, and it is hot clear that at any rime
of his lire Harvey crossed the Channel.
A change of lire was now, however, before him. His
fellowship at Pembroke was expiring, and a request
made by Lord Leicester that it should be continued for
a year, though backed by Dr. Fulke,  the new Master
of the College, was hot complied with.
For years past he had inclined towards the study of
Civil Law. In a letter to Sir Thomas Smith, 3 evidently
written at the end of r573, he says that if he had
obtained a fellowship at Christ's, he supposes it would
have drawn him into the ministry, but he now rejoices
that he was not elected, and his present intention is
to make the Civil Law his study, 'partly now and fully
hereafter.' Sir Thomas invited him to see him, and gave
him advice as to his course of reading, 4 and in a letter
evidently to be dated about the following April, » Harvey
says that though there was then a fellowship for Essex

i There had been some intention of sending him abroad a few months earlier, as
is seen from the dedication to John Aylmer, Bishop of London, of Richard Harvey's
.qstrologicall Discourse (1553) , where he refers to Aylmer's «singular curtesie toward
my hrother Gahriel uhen he should haue trauailed to Smalcaldie'. Queen Elizabeth,
urged by Duke Casimir, nominated deputies [ Laurence Humphry, John Still, John
Hammon, Daniel Rogers] to attend a Conference of German Protestant princes
which w-s to bave been held at Schmalkalden on 7 June, 1575. The conference
,as, ho,ever, given up and the deputies did rot leave Englad. Both Dr. Daniel
Rogers and Dr. Still were frlends of Harvey's and one of them may bave procured
some appointment for him in connexion with the mission. (Foreign Paters

men vacant at Christ's, he would not accept it ifit were
offered him, unless it were accompanied by a dispensation
from taking orders, so resolved was he to make the Civil
Law his profession,  how slowlyyet soever I go unto it.'
Fortune therefore favoured him when within a few
months of losing his fellowship at Pembroke he was
elected on 18 December, x 578, to a new fellowship at
Trinity Hall, the home of the study of Civil Law in
Cambridge. Perhaps his election was assisted by the
Master, Dr. Henry Harvey, who may have been a
distant kinsman.
Early in the year  578 Dr. John Young, Master of
Pembroke, who had been so good a friend to Harvey
rive years before, became Bishop of Rochester. We
may imagine that Harvey besought his patronage for
the young Pembroke poet, Spenser, while he urged
Spenser to leave the North and his unhappy love-affair
and make a career in southern England. 
Then, if by me thou list advised be,
Forsake the soyle that so doth thee bewitch :
Leave me those billes where harbrough nis to see,
Nor holy-bush, nor brere, nor winding witche :
And to the da|es resort, where shepheards ritch
And fruictfull flocks bene everywhere to see. -
&t any rate Spenser went south, and became the
Bishop's Secretary. This we know from a note in one
of Harvey's books, 'Ex dono Edmundi Spenseri Epis-
copi Roffensis Secretarij x 578-' a
How long Spenser held this post we do hot know.
In the September Eclogue of the Sbepbeards Calender»
I Dr. Grosart has produced some evidence that Spenser left the North in 1577

Renewed Intercourse with Spenser OE 3

1.  76, where the Bishop under his pastoral name' Roffyn '
is in question, we are explicitly told ' Colin C10ut, I wene,
be his selle boye' : and one must infer that when Hobbi-
noll in the April Eclogue, 1. -',. I, says, ' Colin thou kenst,
the southerne shepheardes boye', the Southern Shepherd
is again the Bishop, though E. K. writes vaguely, ' Seem-
eth hereby that Colin perteyneth to some Southern noble
man, and perhaps in Surrye or Kent.' In the July
Eclogue, 11. 79-8 , ' the salt Medway' must surely be
due to an acquaintance with the river at Rochester. It
seems, however, probable that Spenser soon after his
coming south was introduced, again through Harvey's
means, to Philip Sidney, and by him to Lord Leicester,
and that he left the Bishop's service sometime in 1579
for that of the great Earl. 1
Two days after being elected to his fellowship at
Trinity Hall, Harvey was with Spenser in London, and
received from him the copy of Howleglas now in the
Bodleian, in which he wrote the following note, now
partly obliterated :
This Howletglasse, with Skoggin, Skelton, and L[a]zarillo,
giuen me at London, of Mr. Spensar xx Decembris [  5 ] 78 on
condition [that I] shoold bestowe ye reading of tbem oue[r]
befo,'e ye first of January [imme]diatly ensuing: otherwise
to forfeit unto him my Lucian in fower uolumes. Whereupon
I was ye rather jnduced to trifle away so many howers, as
were jdely ouerpassed in running thorowgh ye [foresai]d foolish
bookes : wherein methowg[ht] not ail fower togither seemed
comparable for s[utt]le and crafty feates with Jon Millet, wbose
witty shiftes, & practises af reported amongst Skeltons Tales.
During the first winter after his return Spenser was
writing or revising his Sbepbeards Calender, that series
! Harvey writes to Spenser on 23 April, lSgo (I4"orks» ed. Grosart, i. 81):--
' Imagin me to corne into a goodly Kentish Gard«n of your old Lords or some oth¢r
Noble Man': this is I suppose Bishop Young i and Spenser's connexion withhim
was now over. If so, it is noticeablc that Harvcy, like E. K., speaks of the Bishop
by implication as a nobleman.

24 The Shepheards Calender

of eclogues which brought a new music into English
poetry, and inaugurated a new era in our literature.
Suflïcient to say of it here that it is an eternal monu-
ment to the friendship of Edmund Spenser for Gabriel
Harvey, of Colin Clout for Hobbino]. In the January
Eclogue the love-sick Colin bas no other way ofshowing
the intensity of his passion for Rosalind than by saying
that he now disdains the kindness of Hobbinol, ' Albee
my love he seeke with dayly suit.' In April Hobbinol
is seen lamenting that ' the ladde whom long I lord so
deare Nowe loves a lasse that all his love doth scorne.'
The June Eclogue contains Colin's lament to his' deare
frend Hobbinol' that he is forsaken, and Hobbinol's
exhortation to him to return to the south, the land of
wealthy patrons, and once more practise poetry :
Colin, to hear thy rymes and roundelayes,
çVhich thou wert wont on wastful h),lls to singe,
I more delight then larke in Summer dayes :
Vhose echo ruade the neyghbour groves to ring,
And taught the by'rds, which in the lower spring
Did shroude in shady leaves from sonny rat, es,
Frame to thy songe their chereful cheriping,
Or hold theyr peace, for shame of thy swete layes.
And in the closing couplet of Colin Clout's December
Lamentation, the naine of his friend is tenderly linked
with that of his love :

Adieu, good Hobbinoll, that was so true,
Tell Rosalind, her Colin bids her adieu.

The 8bepbeards Calender did hot see the light till the
end of 579- Then it was modestly ushered into the
world with a dedication to Philip Sidney from the un-
named author, and a letter addressed by the editor,
Edward Kirke, 'to the most excellent and learned, both
orator and poete, Mayster Gabriell Harvey.' Kirke had

Harvey's Lost t4/'orks OE 5

been, like Spenser, a sizar of Pembroke Hall, and he
was a staunch admirer not only of Spenser but of
Spenser's elder friend. He bids Harvey, if envy and
malice should stir up any wrongful accusation against
the poet, to defend his cause 'with your mighty
Rhetorick and other your rare gifts of learning.'
To his letter Kirke adds a quaint postscript, ' From
my lodging at London thys o. ofAprill, 579-' In this
he urges Harvey to publish 'those many excellent
English poemes of yours which lye hid,' and no longer
withhold from men 'so divine pleasures, which they
might conceive of your gallant English verses, as they
bave already doen ofyour Latine Poemes, which, in my
opinion, both for invention and Elocution are very deli-
cate and superexcellent.' And in a note to the September
Eclogue, after mentioning Harvey's Musarum lacbrym,e
and Gratuhttiones, E. K. refers to ' other his sundrye
most rare and very notable writings, partely under un-
known tytles, and partely under counterfayt names, as
his Uyrannomastix, his Ode Natalitia, his Rameidos and
especially that parte of Philomusus, his divine lnticos-
mopolita, and diuers others of lyke importance.'
It would seem, then, that Harvey by this time had
composed a number of poetical works, in English and
in Latin, but had been chary of giving them to the
world. Most of them never did see the light ; and it
would have been better for Harvey ifthis had been the
case with all. However, we may take it that early in
 579 he was seriously thinking of publication, and that
Kirke's words were intended to prepare the public for
what was to corne. One of the works mentioned by
Kirke was entered on the Stationers' Register on the
3cth June to Richard Day, viz., ' Anticosmopolita, or
Britannioe Apologia.' It was probably never printed,

z6 Verlayes

for Harvey writes in April, x58o , 'My Anticosmo-
polita remayning still in statu quo, and neither an inch
more forward, nor backwarde, than he was fully a twelue-
month since in the Courte, at his laste attendance vppon
my Lorde there.'  Perhaps an appeal made to Lord
Leicester to assist in its publication had proved fruitless.
Richard Harvey writes in 1583 of the' favourable accep-
tance' his brother's zlnticosmopolita had received from
Bishop Aylmer of London, * but even the Bishop may
hot have been disposed to defray the cost ofpublishing it.
Harvey's Letter-book contains (on pp. 58-64) a puzz-
ling letter, dated ' the xo ofthis present and as bewtifull
a sunnye daye as cam this summer 579,' in which he
remonstrates with Spenser for having published his
poems or Verlayes, and having sent him a copy.
Nothing is known of any such publication. It is clear,
however, from the various titles of proposed works
which we find in the Letter-book that Harvey looked
forward to getting some of his poems published in a
manner which would suggest that he was hOt privy to
their seeing the light. And this letter to Spenser of the
summer of I579 is, I believe, a draft made in advance
ofwhat hewas prepared to say (and to let the public read)
after one ofthese proposed works had been issued. The
fullest sketch-title in the Letter-book  is curiously one of
the Ferlayes, dedicated to Mr. Edward Dyer by Benevolo
(i.e., Spenser), and dated ' This first of August, 1580. '
Harvey would hot have drafted this dedication and title
if the l/'erlayes had appeared against his consent a year
earlier.
Ail this shows a certain inclination to finesse or
trickery in Harvey's character, which manifested itself

still more clearly in later years. One may add that the
specimens ofhis poetryscattered through the Letter-book,
whether in halting hexameters or Skeltonian doggrel
are so tasteless and clumsy, with no merit beyond a
copious vocabulary, that Harvey is convicted of an
extraordinary lack of self-criticism if he thought they
deserved to be publishedmas was indeed proved when
some did see the light a year later.
Their publication came about in this way. In the
course of the year 158o rive letters which had passed
between Harvey and Spenser were given to the public
by a supposed friend of the writers, who took occasion
to extol Harvey's letters and to ask that others which
he had heard of might also be given to the world.
After what we have seen of Harvey's literary artifices,
this is a little suspicious. The letters appeared in two
groups, with two title pages : first, the three last of the
series ; and, secondly, the two first.  All were written
between October, t 579,and May, t 58o,--two by Spenser
and three longer ones by Harvey.
Spenser was apparently no longer Secretary to the
Bishop of Rochester but in the service of Lord Leicester,
though living in Westminster, where he died twenty
years later. At Leicester House he would be frequently
In the society of Philip Sidney and Edward Dyer.
These two gentlemen had been fired--not apparently
by Harvey or Spenser but by Archdeacon Drant--with
the desire of introducing into England poetry written
in classical metres and without rime, and in their
àpt,e¢e' (as Spenser writes jestingly) they had pre-
scribed the laws ofquantity in English verse, improving
on rules submitted to them by Drant. Spenser himself,
who in the past had withstood Harvey's exhortations

in favour of classical metres, from the feeling that
Harvey and Ascham stood alone in the preference, had
come over to the cause when he saw it had powerful
patrons at Court. ' I am, oflate, more in loue wyth my
Englishe Versîfying 1 than with Ryming: whyche I should
haue done long since, if I would then haue followed your
councell.' ' I perceiue you.. continue your old exercise
of Versifying in English: which glorie I had now
thought shoulde haue bene onely ours heere at London
and the Court.' He encloses some English lines of his
own in ' lambicum trimetrum.' This letter was begun at
¥estminster on October  5th and ended on the 16th.
With it, however, were enclosed a Latin poem of Fare-
well to Harvey before Spenser's expected voyage to
France, and a postscript, dated ' Leycester House this
5 ofOctober 1576. ' These additions had by mistake not
been sent earlier. * The Latin poem is specially interest-
ing for the light it throws on Spenser's view of his own
character and Harvey's. He himself was distracted by
love, and maintained ' in parvis bene qui scii desipuisse,
Soepe superciliis palmam sapientibus aufert.' Harvey was
ready to sacrifice ail the sweets of life to his ambition.

I 'Versifying' with Spenser implies writing according to clasical prosody.
-* The point was made clear to me by Dr. McKerrow.

Ube Letters OE9

To this letter and its enclosures Harvey replied on
OE30ctober, from 'Trinitie Hall, stil in my gallerie.'
He calls Drant 'your gorbellied toaster,' 1 and sneers
at his rules, which he had neither seen nor heard of
before. Evidently he is jealous of Drant for robbing
him of the glory of converting Sidney and Dyer to his
views of versifying. At some length he dwells on
Spenser's expectation of going abroad in Leicester's
service. He even seems to refer to a similar prospect
for himself when, speaking of' Titles,' he says, ' I hope
by that time I have been resident a yeare or twoo in
Italy, I shall be better qualifyed in this kind.' This,
however, is probably hot to be taken seriously. There
is a curious break in the correspondence between 23
October, I579 and April, I58o. Was Spenser abroad
in this interval ?
Spenser's next letter, dated 2 April, refers to a visit
Harvey had paid him 'the last time we lay together
in Westminster,' but we bave no evidence that Harvey
had visited Leicester House at that time. He promises
to give Harvey Drant's rules of quantity as improved
by Sidney and himself, says he is now going to work
at his Faery Queene, and begs Harvey to return it to
him with his criticism. He refers to the earthquake
which had just been felt in London.  Harvey's letter
of 7 April tells how he had felt the earthquake when
playing cards with some ladies at a gentleman's house,
near Saffron Waldron (apparently), and gives the sub-
stance of" a disquisition on earthquakes ruade to his
friends the same evening, in which he advanced natural
causes for their occurrence, and tried to dissipate idle

terrors. Speaking of his poems he says ' my Anticos-
mopolita [is] neither an inch more forward, nor backe-
warde than he was fully a twelve-month since in the
Courte, at his laste attendaunce upon my Lorde there.'
Does this imply that Harvey had himself hot been in
attendance on Lord Leicester for some time ? I see
nothing in these letters to support the common state-
ment that Hariey was a regular visitor at Leicester
House at the meetings of Sidney and Dyer's «Areopagus'.
Harvey ends his letter with a severe criticism of the
state of the University, which was occupied rather with
modern French and Italian literature than deep learning,
which was permeated with the spirit of worldly self-
seeking, and in which wealthy and noble youths were
allowed to lire as they liked, regardless of academical
discipline. He makes a particular attack on one per-
sonality of the University, whom, addressing Spenser,
he calls 'your old Controller.' From what happened
afterwards we know that he meant Dr. Perne. 1 In the
last letter of the rive, written in answer to Spenser's of
the OEnd (?) April, Harvey introduces several sers of
English verses ofhis own, including Speculum q"uscanismi,
a satire on an Englishman Italianate, and, characterist-
ically enough, several sets done for him by his brother
John, then aged sixteen and a third year student of
Queens' College. He writes with excellent good sense
on the laws ofquantity in English. If our verse is to be
measured by syllables long by nature or by position,
we must first have an orthography conformable to our
natural speech, i.e., phonetic spelling ; and we must hot
make syllables long in verse which in our natural prosody
are short, e.g., the middle syllables of 'carpenter,'

 How Spenser could have corne under the control of the lblaster of Peterhouse
is hard to see. Perne was, however, Vice-Chancellor in I 574-5, and Spenser may
have corne into conflict with him in that capacit)'.

:t e Letters give offence 3 

'suddenly,' ' merchandise.' Here, so far from Harvey
forcing his pedantry on Spenser, he is protesting against
the excess of pedantry to which Spenser had fallen a
victim, along with Sidney and Dyer, at the hands of the
« fat-bellyed Archdeacon.' Harvey was no pedant, with
ail respect to those who bave treated him as the pedant
par excellence. He was a critical reader of all literatures
and all sciences of his day. What failed him was that
play of mind which can take delight in dreams and
shadows and music--what we call pure imagination:
and there is no greater example of it than his faint
praise of the Faery Queene in this letter. For himself,
he acknowledges that he had spent too much ofhis lire
in desultory reading and trifling, and it was time to be
making a career. ' I truste I shall shortly learne to
employ my trauaile, and tyme, wholly or chiefely on
those studies and practizes, that carrie, as they sa)re,
meate in their mouth.'
If he hoped that the publication of these letters
would assist him to make a career, he was sadly dis-
appointed. In the first place the publication of rive
private letters of two young Cambridge men of thirty or
under was a proceeding certain to excite ridicule, and
no one could believe then, any more than now, that the
publication was without Harvey's connivance. But the
contents of the letters were also open to objection. The
University was aggrieved at the picture drawn of its
degeneracy. Lord Oxford, instigated by John Lyly,
the author of Eupbues, was said to have taken offence
at the Speculum 'uscanismi as a satire on himself (he had
quarrelled with Philip Sidney the year before), and Sir
James Croft, the Controller ofthe Queen's Household,
saw an attack on bim in the passage directed against
Spenser's old Controller, Dr. Perne.

3 2 Harvey's Defence

According to Nashe's account in later years, Harvey
had to take refuge in the house ofa nobleman (no doubt
Lord Leicester), whence Sir J. Croft ferreted him out
and had him sent to the Fleet. 
Harvey acknowledged that he had to give an explana-
tion ofhis words to the University, to which he professed
his dutiful and entire affection. He denied that his
Speculum quscanismi was directed against Lord Oxford
or gave him any offence. He acknowledged that letters
passed between him and Sir James Croft which were
read at the Queen's Council Table, but he denied aga.in
that he was ever sent to the Fleet. He explained the
tone of his letter by his irritation at being crossed through
the ill-will of Dr. Perne in his candidature for the Public
Oratorship ofthe University.

the Mirrour ofTuscanismo, was palpably intended against him :

stowed Angels vpon mee in Christes Colledge in Cambridge,
and otherwise voutsafed me manï gratious fauours at the affec-
tionate commendation of my Cosen, M. Thomas Smith, the
sonne of Sir Thomas, . . . But the noble Earle, not disposed
to trouble his Iouiall mind with such Saturnine paltery, stil
continued» like his magnificent selfe : and that Fleeting also
proued, like the other, a silly bullbeare, a sorry puffe of winde, a
thing of nothing. 
This trouble must have occurred in the summer of
l.çSo. One must retrace one's steps, however, at this
point to touch on the story of Harvey's candidature for
the Public Oratorship.
Richard Bridgewater, LL.D., of King's College, had
been Public Orator since i.ç73. His resignation had
been apparently expected for some time, and Gabriel
Harvey, after his brilliant success as Proelector in
Rhetoric, may well have looked forward to succeeding
him. At last, on OE50ctober, I579, Bridgewater an-
nounced his resignation in a Latin letter to Lord
Burghley, the Chancellor.  He says that he would
1 Harvey, FoureLetters. lorles(Grosart)i. 171]&c. " LansdowneMS.21],81L

Harvey's Candidature 35

bave resigned earlier if he had thought that the Uni-
versity could have elected some one with the same
unanimity and concord with which it had elected him.
' But since I perceive that this cannot by any means be,
owing to the importunate ambition of certain persons
who are contending about it as though it were amatter
of lire and death, I corne to you and lay my office at
your feet.' He had hopes that his successor would
be John Preston (afterwards Master of Trinity Hall).
For some reason Bridgewater's resignation was hot
known in the University till early in the following
April, when Harvey, returning to Cambridge on the
Ioth (afterexperiencing the earthquake in Essex), found
that the post was vacant and other candidates were
already in the field. Two days later he wrote the follow-
ing letter to Lord Burghley :1
Dabit hanc mihi ueniam, uti spero, tua Clarissima Amplitudo,

I Lansdowne MS., 28, 83. The letter is dated 'Pridie ldus Aprilis x579.'
I think, however, that ' 1579 ' is a slip for' I8O,' On.*- must remember that
according to then usage, the new year had only begun on zsth Mar¢ so that the
mistake is intelligible. This letter asks Burleigh for a recommendation. Harvey's
lester of 16 June, t 5go, thanks him for giing him one. One cannot suppose that
more than a year had passed in the interval. In 158o the Vice-Chancellor was
John Hatcher brother of Harey's oid friend, Thomas Hatcher so we can under-
stand that he xas one of Harey's supporters.

According to Harvey Dr. Perne was using his influ-
ence against him, and although Lord Burleigh wrote

Burleigh's Fruitless Letter 37

a letter in his favour it had no effect. Harvey thanked
Burleigh on the I4th June in the following terms :1

38 Harvey once more Jubilant

It would scem from the above letter that the effect of
Perne's intervention was to induce Bridgewater to con-
tinue in office for some time longer. And it was not till
March, x 5 8c)-I, that a new Orator was elected, and then
the choice fell on a rival. Harvey, then, by June,  580,
felt that he had been foiled in his candidature through
the machinations of Perne. This led him to attack the
University, and Perne in particular, in his letter to
Spenser, and was one cause of the troubles (mentioned
on page 3 I) which the publication of his letters brought
on him.
Vhen F, is difficulties were over he returned to
Cambridge, as Nashe would have us believe, in no way
crestfallen.
Where after his arriuall, to his associates and companions he
priuatly vaunted what redoublcd rich brightnes to his naine,
this short eclipse had brought, and that it had more dignified and
raisd him, than ail his endeuours from his childhood. With
such incredible applause and amazement of his Iudges hee
bragd hee had cleard himselfe, that euery- one that was there
tan to him and embrast him, and shortly hee was promist to be
cald to high preferment in court, not an ace lower than a
Secretariship, or one of the Clarks of the Councell. Should I
explaine to you how this wrought with him, and how in the
itching heate of this hopefull golden worlde and hony moone,
the ground would no longer beare him, but to Sturbridge
Fayre,  and vp and downe Cambridge on his foot-cloth maies--
tically he would pace it, with manie moe madde trickes of
youth nere plaid before i in stead of making his heart ake with
vexing, I should make ),ours burst with laughing. Doctor
Perne in this plight nor at any other rime euer met him, but
he would shake his hand and crie F'anitas vanitatum, omnia
vanitas, Vanitie of vanitie% and ail things is vanitie.
His father he vndid to furnish him to the Court once more,
where presenting himsclfe in ail the cGulours of the raine-bow,
and a paire of moustachies like a black horse tayle tyde up in
a knot, with two tuffts sticking out on each side, he was askt

 Sturbridge Fait opened annually in September.

lSecomes Secret, try to Lord Leicester 39

by no meane personage Unde hec insania ? whence proceedeth
this folly or madnes ? & he replied with that wether-beaten
peice of a verse out of the Grammer, 8emel innaniuimus omne«,
once in our dayes there is none ofvs but bave plaied the ideots ;
and so was he counted and bad stand by for a Nodgscombe.
He that most patronizd him, prying more searchingly into him,
and tïnding that he was more meete to make sport with, than
anie way deeply to be employd, with faire words shooke him
of, & told him he was fitter for the Vniversitie, than for the
Court or his turne, and so bad God prosper his studies & sent
for another Secretarie to Oxford. 1
This seems to imply that in the late autumn of  580
Harvey was for a rime in Lord Leicester's service as
his Secretary. We may remember that this was the rime
when Spenser left Leicester's service in order to accom-
pany Lord Grey of Wilton to lreland, " and it would
be very natural that he should persuade Lord Leicester
to put Harvey in the place he was vacating. That
Harvey was for a time at Court under Leicester's
patronage is clear from Spenser's Colin Clouts corne home
again, where, after Colin has been inveighing against the
Court, Hobbinoll (Harvey) retorts (I. 73 OE) :
Ah, Colin, then said Hobbinoi, the blame
Which thou imputest is too generall, . . .
For well I wot sith I myselfe was there
To wait on Lobbin (Lobbin well thou knewest), &c.
' Lobbin' is undoubtedly Leicester. See E.K.'s note
on Shqheards Calender, xi.   3 : ' Lobbin, the naine of
a shepherd, which seemeth to have bene the loyer and
deere frend of Dido.'
One might hesitate to accept any statement about
Harvey given by an enemy. Nashe's account is curi-
ously confirmed, however, by the Latin play Pedantius,

 Nashe's lF'ork (McKcrrow), iii. 7 8.
Lord Grey landed in Dublin on z August.

4o Ridiculed at Cambrtdge tri t'ecantlus

acted at Trinity College, Cambridge, probably in
February, 58o-t. Nashe himselfe tells us  that in the
chief character of the comedy, Pedantius himself, ' the
concise and firking finicaldo fine Schoole-master,' Harvey
'was full drawen and delineated from the soale of the
foote to the crowne ofhis head. The iust manner of his
phrase in his Orations and Disputations they stufft his
mouth with, & no Buffianisme [buffoonery] throughout
his whole bookes but they bolsterd out his part with :
• . . I leaue out halfe ; hot the carrying vp of his gowne,
his nice gare on his pantofles, or the affected accent of
his speach, but they personated. And if I should reueale
all, I thinke they borrowd his gowne to playe the Part in,
the more to flout him.' The play, as we bave it, abun-
dantly confirms Nashe's statement.
We have references to Pedantius' rhetorical discourses
in the public schools, to his personal peculiarities, his
mustaches and pantofles, to his going to Court, where
a favorite pupil had preceded him, to the airs he gave
himselfin the company ofthe great, to his ignominious
return, to a difference with the University which led
him to retire to his Tusculan villa. His poems, the
Speculum uscanismi and Musarum Lacbryme, are intro-
duced by naine. 
It is clear that though Harvey had gained the devoted
love and admiration of Spenser, though his abilities and
learning were beyond dispute, he had ruade himself
ridiculous in Cambridge, and given a handle to his
enemies. Next month Anthony Wingfield,  who perhaps
had a hand in the composition of Pedantius,  was elected

 kl/orks, iii. 80. -" See my edition (Bang's Materialien, viii. pp. xxxii-I).
 Possibly he was known to be a persona g, rata at Court as the Queen had
previously desired Trinity College to confer on him the rectory of Caisshaw in
Bedfordshire, xvhich the Master and Fellows in a letter of 3 Dec. * 579 said would
be contrary to their statutes (Lansdowne MS. 28, 86).

Public Orator of the University, and Harvey had sus-
tained his first great defeat.
It was a curious coincidence that, when Harvey in
May, 1583, was appointed by his College to fill a vacancy
in the office of Junior Proctor ofthe University, he had
as his five-months colleague Anthony Wingfield.

4 OE Harvey and lais Brothers

11I.

IT is time to turn for a moment to Harvey's private
circumstances. He still had a haven of refuge in his
father's house at Saflî'on Walden, and he round balm for
his wounds in the extraordinarily close attacbment which
united all the members ofthe family to which he belonged.
Two of his brothers, as we have seen, had followed him
to Cambridge. Richard had been matriculated as a pen-
sioner of Pembroke on  5 June,  575, had proceeded
B.A. in 577-8, commenced M.A. in 58 I, and become
a fellow ofhis college, where he probably remained till
he was preferred to the rectory of Chislehurst in October,
586. Dr. McKerrow says: 'The most noteworthy
feature ofhis University career would seem to have been
his partisanship ofthe Ramistic logic, in praise ofwhich
he wrote his Ephemeron sive Pwan, in gratiam perpurgat.e
reformat, eque Dialectic,e,  583-' The book was dedicated
to Lord Essex, who was ever a bountiful patron of its
author. Rare us' Logic must bave been generally studied
in the University, as it x;-as among the books bought for
Lord Essex himself on his entering Trinity in  577- 1
Gabriel Harvey, as we bave seen, had shocked conserva-
tive minds in his early days at Pembroke by supporting
some of Ramus' tenets against Aristotle ; and in this
revolt against the infallibility of Aristotle, Richard
followed his elder brother, with similar ill results to
himself. Nashe addresses Richard : 'Thou hadst thy
hood turnd over thy eares when thou wert a Batchelor,
for abusing Aristotle, and setting him vp on the Schoole

 Lansdosne MS. zS, 4 6.

Richard Harvey 43

gates, painted with Asses eares on his head.' * He must
have been a scholar ofsome mark among his contempor-
aries for (apparently in the year 1583-4) he was University
Proelector in Philosophy. Not having Gabriel's rail
stature--' Pigmey Dicke,' Nashe calls himmhe seems
to have also lacked his great intellectual force, while
he had his full share of Gabriel's weak points. The
only extant letter of Gabriel's addressed to him * was
apparently called forth by some foolish conduct vhich
had caused him to be punished by the Master of his
College (possibly the act referred to by Nashe). Gabriel
urges him to solicit the Master without delay for his
'restitution,' and then settle himself to other things,
especially his «Astronomicall Dialogues.' This work,
on which Richard was engaged, was no doubt that which
appeared under the title An Astrological Discourse,  early
in 1583. It prophesied all sorts of ill consequences from
the conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter which was to take
place on 28 April of that year, and entailed boundless
ridicule on its author when its predictions came to
nothing. The whole was addressed to Gabriel, whose
attitude towards his brother's pursuit is well shown and
is creditable to him : ' You advertize me either hOt so
much to addict my selfe to the studie, and contempla-
tion of Judiciall Astrologie ; or else by some euident
and sensible demonstration, to make certeine and infal-
lible proofe what general good I can do my countrie
thereby, or what speciall fruite I can reap thereof unto
my selfe.' In a prefatory letter to John Aylmer, Bishop
of London, Richard announces that he is 'shortly to
professe Diuinity (so soone as my place in the Colledge
shall call me thereunto).'
1 Nashe's Worts s i. a95. Dr. McKerrow shows that the first wotlls probably
mean 'Thou wast suspended from thy degree.'  Letter-book, p. 83.
a Though, as Dr. McKerrow points out, this is not in dialogue form.

44 John Harvey

The third brother, John, matriculated as a pensioner
of Queens' College in June, 578, perhaps choosing
that college because Sir Thomas Smith had j ust founded
some scholarships there for which preference was to be
given to his own naine and kindred and to scholars of
Saffron \Valden School. He graduated B.A. in  58o- I,
and M.A. in z584, when he seems to have become
tutor at Wendon Lofts, near Saffron Walden, in the
family of Mr. Justice Meade, whose daughter Martha
he afterwards married. He, too, was bitten with a
passion for astrology, and early plunged into author-
ship. On the eve of the conjunction of Jupiter and
Saturn in 583 he put forth An .4strologicall .4ddition
to Richard's work, and so secured his own share of
ridicule. ' My brother Gabriel,' he says, ' beeing of him
selle otherwise affected, bath hot disliked either of my
brother Richard's, or of my exercise in this kinde ;' and
addressing Gabriel himself, he expresses his gratitude
for Gabriel's tare of his early studies. ' I must be
thankful first vnto God, and then vnto those, whom it
hath pleased him to make my founders, and chieflie
your selle.'
It is easy to understand that these demonstrations
of fraternal admiration taken in conjunction with the
writings ofthe younger Harveys helped to bring ridicule
on all three brothers.
Nashe tells us, 1 and we may take his statement for
what it is worth, that there was ' a shewe' ruade at Clare-
Hall of the three Harveys, and another of' the little
Minnow Dodrans Dicke, at Peterhouse called
Dunsfurens, Dick Haruey in a frensie.
Whereupon Dick came and broke the Colledge glasse
windowes : and Doctor Perne (being then either for

iii. 80.

1ll the Brothers laughed at 45

himselfe or Deputie Vice-Chancellour) caused him to be
fetcht in, and set in the Stockes till the Shew was ended,
and a great part of the night after.'
Another illustration of the impression ruade by the
Harveys may be round in a letter written by an Oxford
undergraduate in this year, x 583, to a cousin who had
just left the University :1

4 6 Facancy in the l¢astership of Frinity Hall

In February, 584-5, died Dr. Henry Harvey,
Master of Trinity Hall,  and was buried on Friday,
the tth. The fellows of the college had deferred any
meeting to elect a successor till after Dr. Harvey's
funeral, and they had still hot met when a letter was
received from Sir Francis Walsingham conveying the
Queen's command that the election should be stayed.
They now held a meeting, and addressed a letter to
Walsingham and to Lord Burleigh asking the Queen
hOt to nominate an), one for the mastership until she
had read the statutes prescribing the manner of election
and the qualifications of the toaster, which they there-
fore enclosed. The letter was signed by ten fellows, but
Gabriel Harvey's name is not among them.  Harvey
himself had hot stayed to sign the letter. He had
believed himself sure of being elected, and was bitterly
disappointed at the check to his hopes. He posted up
to London, and delivered a letter of his own to Lord
Burleigh.
I beseech you good My Lord, haue patience this once, and
I will hot troble, or importune yo" L. again in hast. Myself

From these letters it seems clear that Harvey had
not been elected Master as is commonly stated. And
he was not destined to be elected. Once more he was
thwarted by secret enemies. On I5 February, thirteen
Doctors of the Arches who had been brought up in
Trinity Hall, knowing, no doubt, of the royal missive,
recommended to Lord Burleigh for the Mastership
«Mr. Berye, one of the ancientest fellowes of the saine
house. ' But even they had been forestalled, for before
the death of Dr. Henry Harvey four heads of houses,
 Lansdowne MS., 4z, 7- -" Lansdowne MS., 4, 4-

Ubomas Preston elected 49

Richard Howland, Bishop of Peterborough and Master
of St. John's, Andrew Perne, Master of Peterhouse, John
Bell, Master of Jesus, and Thomas Byng, Master of
Clare and Professor of Civil Law, had recommended to
Lord Burleigh Thomas Preston, late of King's College,
saying' he bath allwayes shewed himselfvoyde of faction'
and 'the howse at this present (as wee heare) is hot all-
together free from that inconvenience.'* Perne had once
more acted as Harvey's enemy--and a powerful one.
When the royal mandate arrived, it was in favour of
Thomas Preston. =
It is possible to associate with this fresh disaster a
strange episode of Harvey's lire which occurred in this
year. In 1584, after completing seven years as a student
of Civil Law, he performed the exercises for his Doctor's
degree. For some reason he was hot inaugurated and in
December accordingly forfeited 2os. to the University
chest. 3 In 585, after thus declining the degree of his
own Alma Mater, he obtained leave of absence from
his college, 4 went to Oxford, performed his exercises
there, and was admitted a Doctor of Civil Law of that
University on 3 July " As he had hot been previously

William Barker. He was lic. D.C.L. at Oxford on * Julï *85.' How Harveï
came to be described, or to descrihe himself, as «Master of Trinity Hall', is hard
to sec. Perhaps the election was still pending, but this is hardly a sufficient justi-
ficatlon. It is thls note which seems to be the basis of the common statcment that
Harvey had been elected Master.
E

So D.C.L. of Oxford

admitted at Cambridge, his proceeding was perhaps
irregular. At any rate Nashe is never tired of twitting

It seems clear from a note in Harvey's Commonplace-
Book  that he somehow broke down in performing his
Acts at Oxford. Commenting on the words ' Ciues
Audacissimi, et apud multitudinem dicere potentissimi,'
he adds, 'At Cambridg, in my proctorship my default ;
at Oxford, in my Acts for my Doctorship.'
We have hurriedly traced Harvey's career to the year
I585. We bave seen his triumphs--and we have seen
them overclouded by reverses• He has reached the age of
thirty-five; he is a Doctor of Laws, nominally practising in
the Court of Arches, but probably never getting a case ;3
he has been at Court and has an overweening confidence
in his powers of playing a part in public life, but his
public career has led to nothing and will lead to nothing.
It is now time to ask what side-lights on his character,
his successes and failures, are thrown by the notes,
which he made so freely in his beautiful handwriting in
his books.

Harvey's Marginalia 5 

IV

HARw"s marginalia give usjust what we should like to
ha,ce in the case of his greater contemporaries, Spenser
and Marlowe and Shakespeare. They add, it is true, only
a few small details to the known facts of his lire ; but
they throw a flood of light on the books he read, and
on the thoughts he cherished in secret. When they are
before us we can indeed say with Dr. E. J. L. Scott that
Harvey is better known to us than almost any Elizabethan
writer, though Grosart, who had no liking for him and did
hOt even master the best-known facts of his lire, strangely
opined that there was hardly any Elizabethan of whom
we knew so little.
The mother ofGabriel Harvey was probably a woman
' of energetic character, and this is borne out by the one
saying her son attributes to her, ' Ail the speed is in the
morning.' He quotes some jesting rimes of a rather
cynical kind which his father used to repeat, and he tells
a little story of his own sense of filial duty under pro-
vocation. His brother Richard appears as smitten with
admiration for a fair lady ofthe Court ; his brother John
as an example of rapid learning.
Harvey tells us something about Spenser, besides
the fact already referred to that Spenser was for a time
secretary to Bishop Young of Rochester. x, Ve hear of
Spenser's admiration of Du Bartas' astronomical book
(the 4th Day of the t st Week), and also of his regret
that he had hot more skill himself in astronomical rules,
tables, and instruments.
When he would illustrate a rich man's foolish hanker-
ing for some thing he does hot possess, he thinks of

New Ligbt on bis Lire and Reading

Philip, Lord Surrey, who left the side of his young
countess to court Mercy Harvey; when he would
illustrate tergiversation and falsity, he thinks of Dr.
Perne.
It is from Harvey's marginalia that we know that he
was University Prœelector in Rhetoric from I573- 4 to
1575-6 ; that he lost his ready speech on some occasion
during his Cambridge Proctorship, and again when
keeping his Acts for the Doctor's degree at Oxford;
that he succeeded Lancelot Brown in a medical fellow-
ship at Pembroke ; from them, too, that we hear of a
disputation in which he was engaged at Trinity Hall,
and of a match in quick repartee in which he bore off
the honours at Oxford.
But these facts about himself and his friends are
unimportant compared to the new knowledge we get of
Harvey's reading, of his literary judgments, and of his
deepest thoughts on lire. The books ofhis which I bave
handled range from Erasmus' Parabolw, which was in his
possession in 1566, the year of his going up as a fresh-
man to Christ's, to a medical work in which he inscribes
his naine in 159 O. The earliest books are, as one would
expect, of a humanistic kind, Erasmus, Xenophon in
Latin, Quintilian, Cicero's Letters, a history of Cicero.
Events ofthe moment meanwhile make him bu" books
on Mary, Queen ofScots. A number ofbooks on travel
and geography, which he acquired in the seventies,
connect themselves with his hopes of travelling abroad
in Lord Leicester's service. From 1574 onwards he buys
books of law, the study to which he was now to devote
himself. In I584 he is taking up medicine, and about
the same time resuming the mathematical and scientific
studies which he had begun years ago at Pembroke. He
now has special artisans who make instruments for him.

His wide Literary Interests 53

Harvey's notes, made generally in Latin, next often
in English, sometimes in Italian, and here and there in
French or Spanish, testify to his wide reading in the
classics, in English, Frertch, and ltaliart literature, in
works of rhetoric, geography, history, law, politics, and
in the mathematical and experimental sciences. Several
times he makes a chart of his reading for a week. Often
he bursts out into enthusiasm over his favourite authors.
They are not limited to the great writers of Greece
and Rome, but include Ramus, Machiavelli, Aretine,
Du Bartas, Angelus Decembrius, Guevara, Blaise de
Vigenère, Tasso, Ariosto, Jewel, Chaucer, More, Hey-
wood, Sidney, Spenser, Smith, Ascham, Wilson, Digges,
Blundevile, Hakluyt.
Harvey's reading in a number oflanguages is seen to
have been enormous, his interests encyclopoedic, tending
always to the practical, to law, history, politics, natural
philosophy rather than to pure literature. It is remarkable
that he makes little reference to the contemporary stage.
He has a word for Gorboduc, but none for the plays of
Greene, Marlowe, or Shakespeare, except that now-lost
note which was seen by Steevens and Malone in Harvey's
copy of Speght's Chaucer ( 598) : ' The younger sort
take much delight in Shakespeares Venus and Adonis,
but his Lucrece and his tragedy of Hamlet Prince of
Denmarke have it in them to please the wiser sort.' 
The most interesting of Harvey's literary criticisms
occur in his notes on Gascoigne's Posies.
The chiefvalue ofthe marginalia, however, lies in the
light which they throw on H arvey's character and attitude
towards life.

 Note in the Variorum Shakespeare (1Si  and 18zl) before Hamlct. Harve),'s
copy of Speght's Chaucer has been supposed to ha,e perished in the tire vhich
destroyed Bishop Perc,'s iibrar,. Mrs. Stopes, however, assures me that it exists,
and that an account of its contents wiii shorti), be published.

54 ,'1 Man of the Renaissance

Harvcy is often called a Puritan. Ifto be a Puritan is
to have a strong sense of personal religion, a spirit of
self-humiliation, a disposition to despise this lire in com-
parison with that which is to come, a fanatical intolerance
of a ceremonial form of religion, Harvey seems to me to
bave been as little ofa Puritan as any man could be. He
shows nothing of thé spirit of the fanatic, and the only
approach to religiousness which I have seen in his notes
is in the little story to which I have referred, in which
he promises to pray for his father.
In his home ttarvey used the language of an ordinary
Christian ; he believed as a statesman in the necessity of
religion to a commonwealth ; he was shocked at open
blasphemies and professed atheism. More than this
one cannot say. He was too much a man of the ltalian
Renaissance to be a very fervent Christian.
Conceive what is meant by the man of the Italian
Renaissance: the man who aims at universal know-
ledge ; who can sympathize with the intellectual detach-
ment of Machiavelli and the audacious licence ofAretine;
who yet would make scholarship a means rather than an
end ; who firmly holds that worldly success, power and
riches are things worth striving for, and things which can
be won if one is only resolute ; that resolution may
require the casting away of many moral scruplesmcon-
ceive such a typical man, and you bave Harvey as he
appears in these notes written only for his own eye. No
man lives up to his principles, nor perhaps down to his
principles, and in the living Harvey there were no doubt
amiable qualities which could hot be justified by his
professed opinions ; but Harvey, as he depicts himself
in these personal notes, is, I believe, the Renaissance man
pure and simple, and in him we see the full influence ofthe
Renaissance more clearly than in any other Englishman
known to us.

Political Ambitions 5 5

Harvey was following the Italians when he published
his inaugural lectures on Rhetoric; he was following
them when he published his Familiar Letters. From the
beginning he had without any doubt the hope ofpassing
from Cambridge to public life ; of treading in the steps
of Cheke and Smith and Cecil. It was this that fired his
ardour in his early studies. He would make himself
a consummate orator, and though a novus homo he
would rise as Cicero rose. Almost ail the' Megalandri'
were, he says, excellent orators, and he cites the names
of Wolsey, Cromwell, More, Gardiner, Smith, Cheke,
Cecil, Bacon, and others.  The prince's court the only
mart of preferment and honour. No fishing to the sea,
nor service to a King.'  Give me entrance,' he cries,  and
lett me alone. Give me footing, and I will find elbow
room.' 'Regula regularum, to seek and enforce all
possible advantages.' ' In any excellent action, più oltra
the bravest and Imperialest posy in the world. You do
well, do still better and better--più oltra. Another doth
or speaketh excellently well, do you and speak you better
--più oltra.'  Who would not rather be one ofthe nine
worthies than one of the seven wise masters ?' ' To me
Cœesar alone is more than all books.' ' Let Pompey be
false to himself, be conquered and perish : let Coesar be
true to himselfand conquer and triumph.' Nietzsche
ruade it a reproach to men of the sixteenth century--and
especially to Shakespearemthat they failed to recognize
the greatness of Cœesar. If he had known Harvey, he
must bave excepted him from this censure. In Harvey
there is already latent the doctrine ofthe' Uebermensch'.
With these views of his end, Harvey disparaged the
writing of books. ' Little or no writing will now serve.
AI1 writing laid abed as tedious and needless. All is now
in bold courtly speaking : and bold industrious doing.'

56 'emperance, Irony, Subsetwience

Another means to success was the complete subjection
ofthe body to the mind. He is never weary ofadvoca-
ting moderation in sleep and food, and the habit of bodily
exercise, and reproaching himselffor any weakness which
stood in the way of his attaining the mastery he sought.
' I was ever a slow-worm in the morning,' he says.
The ascetic lire, to which he was forced not only by his
principles but by his constant impecuniosity, is seen in
Nashe's account of him.
But the man who is to succeed must not only be
bold and self-reliat, be must be supple, ceremoniously
polite, one who can mask all feelings which it would hot
be politic to express. He must be 'a continual ironist
like Socrates, Sannazarius, and our Sir Thomas More.'
He must find ' precedents of honorable behaviour and
entertainment in Esau and Jacob, the Queen of Saba
and Salomon, Dido and Aeneas.' 'The Siren every day
of one's life, The Gorgon hOt once in the year, only
in extremes.' Even flattery and self-abasement are a
legitimate means to success. 'Learn from the dog how
skilfully to treat a Lord or a King. Endure anything in
the way of wrongs, and fawn none the less.' ' Visible
flattery is abject and unworthy ofa gentleman ; invisible
flattery a matter of skill and suited for men of affairs.'
(These last maxims are in Latin).
Such were Harvey's principles. In his youth he
hoped to rise in the world by combining in himselfthe
qualities of a Cicero and a Coesar ; as disappointments
came on him he seems to have been ready to adopt baser
methods. In various places his notes bave the tone ofone
who feels that he bas failed. 'The coyning of base
moony, Cardinal Wolseyes great Deuyse to enrych the
Kynge. The suppressing ofAbbyes, the Lord Cromwells
famous aduice. The Court of Augmentation S r Francis
Drakes Gowlden Booty from Spain. At nihil tale feci:
illis honorificum, mihi turpe.'

8penser's Eulogy 57

V

WI have traced Harvey's lire up to  585, the year of
his failing to obtain the mastership of Trinity Hall, and
ofhis taking the degree ofDoctor ofLaws at Oxford.
Spenser's sonnet to him, the finest tribute ever paid
to his character and powers, is dated from Dublin, 8
July, 1586.

Haruey, the happy aboue happiest men,
I read: that, sitting like a looker-on
Of this worldes stage, doest note, with critique pen,
The sharpe dislikes of each condition ;
And, as one carelesse of suspition,
Ne fawnest for the fauour of the great,
Ne fearest foolish reprehension
Of faulty men, which daunger to thee thrcat:
But freely doest, of what thee list cntreat,
Like a great lord of peerelesse liberty;
Lifting the good up to high Honours seat,
And the euill damning euermore to dy:
For Lire, and Death, is in thy doomefull writing !
So thy renowme liues euer by endighting.
Your deuoted frend during lire,
EDMVqD SPENCER.

Edmund Spenser could hOt be mistaken in praising
Harvey's critical faculty; but we must feel that he did
hOt know Harvey as well as we do, when he counted him
'happy above happiest men,' because 'sitting like a
looker-on ofthis world's stage' ! To one bitterly chafing
at being a looker-on and not an actor on that stage, the
words ofcongratulation must have seemed sadly ironical.
We have little evidence of meetings or correspond-
ence between Harvey and Spenser after this date. A mong

58 Ly/y's lttack

the manuscript notes, however, which Harvey made in
Twine's Surueye of the 14/'orld, is the following : ' Pudet
ipsum Spenserum . . suoe in astronomicis canonibus,
tabulis, instrumentisque imperitioe, proesertim ex quo
vidit Blagravi nostri Margaritam mathematicam.' As
Blagrave's Mathematical Jewel was only published in
1585, and Spenser is hot likely to have seen it in Ireland,
this is an indication of" a meeting between the two old
friends when Spenser was in England about 159 o, or
on his subsequent visit. Professor Hales, arguing I from
the fact that Hobbinol is introduced into Colin Clouts
corne home again, suggests that Harvey visited Spenser in
Ireland after the latter's return from England, but this
is at least a very doubtful inference.
We now corne to the war of" words between Harvey
and Thomas Nashe, the history ofwhich has been for the
first time most carefully analysed by Dr. McKerrow.
The quarrel took its origin in 1589 when Lyly, in his
anti-Martinist tract, Pap with a Hatcloet, referred con-
temptuously to Harvey's letters to Spenser of I58o
and to the offence therein given to Lord Oxford,  which
Lyly himselfhad apparently fomented. Harvey wrote a
reply to Lyly, dated from Trinity Hall, 5 November,
1589, but hOt then published. It contains a most serious
treatment of the Marprelate controversy, in which
Harvey's statesmanship, his independence of" ecclesias-
tical prejudices, and his powers as a writer are seen to
the highest advantage. He shows that a perfect system
of Church Government is not to be had in a day, that
the Primitive Church adapted itselfto temporal circum-

 «And ne will we conjure vp, that writing a familiar Epistle about the naturall
causes ot r an Earthquake, fell into the bowells of libelling» m'hich ruade hls eares

stances, and that the creation ofa theocracy represented
by ministerial rule in every parish would be intolerable.
The better scholar, he says, the colder schismatic. \Ve
must have mutual charity or Church and State will be
overthrown. Perhaps nothing wiser or more far-sighted
was ever written in the whole of the 16th century. 
Next year Richard Harvey (who since we last heard
of him had been ordained and become rector of Chisle-
hurst in Kent)  took up the challenge which Gabriel
had apparently declined. In his work Plaine Percevall,
while professing a desire to reconcile Martinists and
anti-Martinists, he attacked the group ofanti-Martinist
writers in general. It included, of course, Greene, Lyly
and Nashe. In another treatise, issued early in the saine
year,  59 o, The Lamb of God, he went out of his way to
attack Nashe in particular for the arrogance with which
in his epistle prefixed to Green's Menaphon he had
criticised contemporary writers of more account than
himself. Dr. McKerrow quotes the passage, 'Iwis this
Thomas Nash, one whome I neuer heard of belote (for

 Had Harvey by this time abandoned his crusade in fvour of classical metres
in English ? Il would seem so frorn thc tone of conternlt with which ho says, ' I long
sithenre founde by experienre, how Dranting of Verses, and Euphuing ofsentences
did edifie.' (Iorks, il. p.  3
 Richard Harvey was ordained Deacon and Priest by Richard Howland, Bishop
of Peterborough, on  z December,  58% and was coilated to the Rectory of Chisle-
hurst, Kent, on  October,  586, by Bishop Young, of Rochester, the latc rnaster of
Pembroke Hall, who was patron of the living. He compounded for first fruits on
40ctober. Perhaps he did not go to reside at Chislehurst al once, as he was hot
licensed to preach till  g Septernber,  87. Even then there appears to have been
something irregular about his position, as on 6 December,  596, according to the
Register of the Bishop of Rochester, he was again collated to the rectory, and on thc
oth again ¢ompounded for first fruits. Nashe (595) accuses hirn of incontinency,
and says he qost his Benefice and his Wench both al once, his Benefice for want of
sufficiencie, and his Wench for want of a Benefice.' (I4/orks, iii. 8.) We hear that
he transcribed the earlier parish reglsters. (History of Chisleburstb}, E. A. Webbs &c.s
g99, P- 6.) He rnust have died before o June, 63o , when his successor, Richard
Chace, v¢as instituted.
A Richard Harvey was collated to the Rectory ofWoldeharn (near Rochester)on
z 3 july,  596, but only held it for three rnonths, as his successor, W. Nicholson, was
collated on 4 Novernber. Sirailarl¥ a Richard Harvey was collated to the rector),
of Maplescombe on z 9 November, 6o. Whether either of these was the Rector
of Chisl«hurst is not clear.

60 Death of .lohn Harvey

I cannot imagin him to be Thomas Nash our Butler of
Pembrooke Hall, albeit peraduenture not much better
learned) sheweth himselfe none of the meetest men, to
censure Sir 'bomas Moore, Sir Iobn Cbeeke, Doctor 14/'atson,
Doctor Haddon, Maister ,tscham, Doctor Car, my brother
Doctor Haruey, and such like.'
After this the war of words slumbered till it was
revived in Greene's Quip for an Upstart Courtier, pub-
lished in July, 159 z, just at the time when Gabriel
Harvey was overwhelmed in the trouble brought on
him by the death of his brother John.
John Harvey had married a daughter of Thomas
Mead, 1 by whom he had had two daughters, Joan and
Elizabeth. He had received a license to practise medicine
from the University of Cambridge on IZ June, 1587,
and had since been practising at King's Lynn. " Gabriel
was with him in his last hours. ' I can neuer forget,' he
says, 'that sweete voice of the dying Cignet : ô frater,
Christus est optimus Medicus & meus solus Medicus.
Vale Galene, valete humanoe Artes; nihil diuinum in

and his onelie Phisition knoweth what spiritual physicke
1 commended vnto him, when I beheld in his meager and
ghastly countenance, that t cannot rehearse without some
fit of compassion.' 3
John Harvey was no sooner dead than a violent quarrel
broke out between his widow and her brother-in-law.
She declared later that Gabriel, having profited by her
ignorance and sickness, had obtained for himself letters
of administration of his brother's goods, and on the
strength of these had deprived her of all that she had,

and with his father's connivance had taken into his
possession bonds given to John Harvey for money
which he had lent his father and Gabriel out ofhis wife's
portion.  As a matter of fact, administration of John
Harvey's goods during the minority of his daughters
was granted to Gabriel on z October. But Martha
Harvey had herself obtained letters of administration on
26 August. It was no doubt with the desire of upset-
ring these last-mentioned letters that Gabriel (whose
Fellowship at Trinity Hall had now expired ) came up
to London at the end of August, and in London he was
detained by this saine family quarrcl till the following
July.
Ail this time he was living, as Nashe tells us, in the
house of his printer, Wolfe, in St. Paul's Churchyard,
though the plague was raging for part of the time and
the churchyard was the burial place of rive parishes.
According to the saine authority, he was utterly impe-
cunious, and ran up a bill of £3 6 with XVolfe for the
printing ofPierce's Supererogation and for his board,t hough
so full of compliments and fine speeches that a visitor
took him at first sight for the Usher of a dancing-school.
Sorely stricken by the loss of his beloved brother,
harassed by the attacks of his sister-in-law (whether he
had given just occasion for them or not we do hot know),
Gabriel was lashed to fury by a passage in Greene's Quip
(published in July), which heaped insult on his father
the rope-maker, his brothers and himself,  as well as by
a scornful account of Richard Harvey, which Nashe
inserted in his Pierce Pennilesse, in reply to Richard's
attack on him in Tbe Lamb of God.

62 Harvey retorts in Foure Letters

Harvey had intended on coming to London to take
legal action against Greene for his slander on his father,
but he had onlybeen in London a few days when he heard
that Greene had died (2 September) after offering IOS. or
2os. to the printer ofhis book to expunge the passage on
the Harveys. Unfortunately for Harvey's after-fame,
he did hOt allow these facts to cool his animosity, and
he hurried out a Letter in which he savagely attacked
Greene's character, while giving a pitiless account of his
miserable end. Harvey's conduct was scarcely Christian,
but it is extenuated by the deep love which bound him
to his father and brothers.
His letter was written on 5 September, three days
after Greene's death, and, as Dr. McKerrow argues, was
at once published by itself, though later, perhaps in
December, i592 , it appeared again as the second of
Foure Letters. The first letter purported to be written
by Mr. Christopher Bird, of Saffron Walden, and was
commendatory of Harvey ; the second, third and fourth
were by Harvey himself. In the third, aftcr defending
himselfagainst Lyly's remarks on his old correspondence
with Spénser, he turns to Nashe, and deals with his
attack on his brother Richard. 
Who in that Vniuersity can deny, but M. Haruey read the

in serious literature, and speaks contemptuously of the
writers then in fashion :4

simplicity, that I am so slenderly acquainted with that dainty
stile: the onl), new fashion of current eloquence in esse : far
surpassing the stale vein of Demosthenes, or Tully- Iewel, or
Harding: Whitgift, or Cartwright" Sidney, or Spencer.
He declares that his own inclinations are hOt for
controversy : s

Harvey appended to the four letters a number of
sonnets, called ' Greene's Memoriall,' which show that
he was not so wedded to classical metres as to disdain
the verse-form then most in fashion, and that, if the
highest regions of poetry were beyond his reach, he
could at least write verse lofty in tone and sentiment.
I append one of these compositions, hOt as being the
best, but as it shows that admiration for wise statesmen
and brave soldiers which is so characteristic of Harvey.
Whether this is the quality of a 'Pedant,' others may
determine.

Pierces Supererogation 65

At the end of" his own sonnets, Harvey printed the
sonnet which Spenser had addressed to him in 586.
Harvey's Foure Letters provoked a rejoinder from
Nashe, who, in January, 593, in his Strange Newes
c'Af the intercepting certaine Letters, violently denounced
him for his attack on the dead Greene. To this Harvey
replied with Pierces Supererogation (dated OE7 April, 595)
--a chaotic piece in which he strangely inserted his reply
to Paphatchet written four years belote. In the part of
the work written for the present occasion, he again
expresses his dislike of controversy and his admiration
for heroic action. He seems constantly glad to escape
from Nashe and expatiate on some congenial theme.
When Nashe is the topic he loses himself in the most
clumsy and tasteless kind of humour, to which the
biting satire of his character-study of Dr. Perne stands
in marked contrat.
Pierces Supererogation was hOt published, as Dr.
McKerrow argues, till the autumn. It contains a
preliminary letter of Harvey's, dated at London:
this 6 of July.' Immediately after this date Harvey
must have been recalled to Saffron Walden, as his
father was buried there on the OEsth. From Saffron
Walden he addressed a letter to his printer, Wolfe,
which seems to have been published together with
Pierces Supererogation. It was entitled At New Letter
of Notable Contents, and expresses a certain backward-
ness to accept the apology which he understood that
Nashe was about to make to him. It has an independent
interest in its references to the death of Marlowe, which
had taken place on  June. Harvey shows that he was
quite ignorant of the true circumstances ; and in his
'sonnet', The IConderJul Tear, assumes that the poet had
fallen a victim to the Plague.

66 Pierces Supererogation

I give a few passages from Herces Supererogation.
He declares his unwillingness to write for the public : *
I protest, I haue these many yeeres, not in pride, but in
iudgement» scorned, to appeere in the rancke of this scribling
generation : and could hot haue bene hired with a great fee, to
publish any Pamflet of whatsoeuer nature, in mine owne name,
had I hot bene intollerably prouoked.
The spirit of the times is against serious literature :'

sion, to the faculty of rayling ; ail harsh, or obscure, that tickleth

In his own justification he gives the names of some
who bave cornrnended hirn :

68 Nashe's expression of Penitence

the Virginall of the diuinest Muses, and gentlest Graces ? Both
delicate V¢riters : alwayes gallant, often braue, continually de-
lectable, somtimes admirable.
Belote the publication ofPierces Supererogation and the
Neo Letter, overtures of friendship had been made to
Nashe by friends of Harvey acting on his behalf, and
Nashe had inserted an expression of penitence in his
Christs qçears woer Ierusalem. Harvey has been attacked
for having replied to this recantation with fresh invec-
tive, and no doubt this was how Nashe saw his conduct.
But Dr. McKerrow has shown that when Harvey wrote
the New Letter, he had not seen Nashe's printed words,
and it is quite likely, as Dr. McKerrow suggests, that
the New Letter and Pierces Supererogation, being already
in the printer's hands, were issued without Harvey's
consent to recoup Wolfe for Harvey's debts to him.
Nashe, however, naturally withdrew his expression of
penitence in the second edition of Christs Tears.
According to Nashe * Harvey remained some six
months at Saffron Walden after his arrival there in
July, t 593- He then returned to London with a prentice
of Wolfe's, whom he had retained as a servant during
the six months, but without the £36 due to Wolfe, who
accordingly had him arrested. He was released from
Newgate through the Rev. Robert Harvey, of St. Albans,
Wood Street, who stood bond for him merely for his
name's sake, and found a lodging for him. Ifwe are to
believe Nashe, Harvey left his benefactor in the lurch
and escaped to Saffron Walden, where he ' mewd and
coopt vp himselfe inuisible, being counted for dead &
no tidings of him,' till in the autumn of 1595 Nashe
came across him accidentally at Cambridge. Both men
happened to be staying in the same inn, the Dolphin,

though Harvey, we are told, subsisted on the Trinity
Hall commons 'as the greatest curteisie hee could doo
the House whereof he was, to eate vp their meate and
neuer pay anie thing', 1 and in consequence came into
conflict with his hostess for 'lying in ber bouse a fort-
night, and keeping one of the best Chambers, yet neuer
off.ring to spend a penie.' Nashe's description of his
antagonist shows us Gabriel as he was in his years of
disappointment and decay.

7 ° Haue with you to Saffron Walden

that bce would remaine three dayes and ncither eate nor drinke,
and within doores he will keepe seauen yeare together, and corne
not abroad so rnuch as to Church.
Harvey desired a meeting or conference, says Nashe,
. . . wherein ail quarrells rnight be discust and drawne to an
attonernent, but . . I had no rancie toit, for once before I had
bin so cousend by his colloging, though . . we neuer met face to
face . . . nor could it settle in rny conscience to loose so rnuch
paines I had tooke in new arraying & furbushing him, or that a
publique wrong in Print was tobe so sleightly slubberd ouer in
priuate.
Nashe had, in fact, already written a reply to Pierces
Supererogation, namely, Haue with you to Saffron I4alden,
and he did hOt want to lose the money it would bring
him. In this most brilliant and rollicking work he gives
an account of Harvey's life, from which I have already
largely quoted, and which in the main, I believe, does
not stray very far from the truth. It appeared in 1596.
Like Dr. McKerrow, 1 doubt if Harvey made any
rejoinder : for I also hold that g'he g'rimming of Thomas
Nashe is not his work. In any case, to quote Dr.
McKerrow once more : 'The conclusion of the whole
matter is to be round in the order of Whitgift and
Bancroft, given on I June, 599, "that ail Nasshes
bookes and Doctor Harvyes bookes [among others] be
taken wheresoeuer they maye be round and that none of
theire bookes bee euer printed hereafter."'*
What is the impression left on one by the controversy ?
With regard to Harvey, I am ready to accept his
assurances that the controversy was uncongenial to him
--it interrupted the course of continued study which
he had resolved on. He was drawn into it from a feeling
that he would be expected to defend his father, his
brothers and himself from an attack which the recent
death of his brother John had made very bitter to him.
 T, an,c,ipt ofStatione,," Registe, {ed. Arber), iii. 677.

Nashe and Harvey compared 7 

But in such a fray he was out of his element. That
he could write powerfully and nobly is seen by his
praises of his age and its heroes, and by his most sober
and wise treatment of the Marprelate writers ; that he
could write powerfully, though hot nobly, by his biting
pages on Dr. Perne. When he turned to such topics he
was himself. In dealing with Nashe, having no humour,
he had to descend to vituperation, and here he showed
that ground ofcommonness and coarsenesswhich under-
la), his veneer ofgentility. He is still a great scholar and
in a sense a great man, but a great man who trîes to do
something that is beneath his powers and fails hopelessly.
Nashe's hatred of Harvey did hot go very deep, I
think. To a humourist deep-seated hatred is hardly
possible. There was a point in the controversy when
he held out his hand to his adversary, and when, as he
thought, Harvey played him false. Even after this, in
his H,ue with you to Saffron lff alden, he is ready here
and there to put in a charitable word for his oppo-
nent. He seems to feel some sense of the pathos of
Harvey's lire, the high hopes that he had once inspired
in a troop of powerful friends, and his present poverty
and friendlessness. But Nashe knows that in this sort of
warfare he has the advantage, and he fights with a light
heart and a rollicking enjoyment of it all. For my part
I cannot read him without liking him. He is at bottom
a gentleman, licentious it ma), be (and he acknow-
ledges that Harvey was hot licentious) but hot foul-
minded. He does not stoop to notice Harvey's mere
abuse, but gives us a delightful picture of the man as a
humourist would see him, and utterly exposes those little
artifices and falsities to which Harvey's Machiavellian
principles and his want of money ruade him inclined. If
Nashe never sinks so low as Harvey, he never rises so

7 OE Mastership of Trinity Hall

high. He has not that width of reading, that philo-
sophical mind, that power of writing, that Harvey can
show when he is on his true ground ; he is ajournalist
and humourist ofgenius, and Harvey no humourist but
a thinker and statesman.
This controversy with Nashe over, Gabriel Harvey
publishes nothing more. His abstinence is quite in
accordance with his frequently expressed dislike of
writing--a dislike no doubt increased by his ill-success
in crushing Nashe and by the contempt which Nashe
had publicly thrown on him, but a dislike which had its
roots earlier. He had published nothing for many years
before Greene's Quip roused him in I592.1 But if
Harvey had ceased to write, his personal ambitions were
not yet quite extinguished.-" Dr. Preston, Master of
Trinity Hall, died in I598 , and he had hOt breathed
his last when Harvey ruade one more effort to get the
place he had lost in 1585. Fie had lost it then by the
interposition of Royal authority in favour of his rival.
Fie would try to gain it by the same means.
And so on 8 May he addresses Sir Robert Cecil in
a letter which is given in full by Grosart  and in abstract
in the Calendar of Hatfield MSS. issued by the Historical
MSS. Commission (viii. 16o). I give the abstract,
adding a few words here and there from Dr. Grosart's
text in brackets.

I earnestly solicited your parents some twelve years since, not
without pregnant hope ofspeeding either by [ the ordinary course
of] election, or their favour, had hot the Queen's mandate over-
ruled the case. Dr. Preston, the toaster of that Hall, is either
now dead or past hope of recovery. I should think myself at
the last someway happy, if by the only means of my good Lord
Treasurer and your good Honour, I might procure the gracious
favour that preferred Mr. Preston to that mastership: first by
the letter of your predecessor, Mr. Secrctary ,Valsingham, for
the stay of the election till ber Majesty's pleasure were known,
and then by ber mandate for the election of Mr. Preston, which

might have gotten it by pluralitie [of voices] [whereof I sup-
posed myself sure]. Now having some years discontinued my
place tbere, and but two of the company left that were fellows
then, [aud I using no plausible or pleasing means, after the
fashion of the world] I know not how far I might prevail with
thcm, the more in respect of some new doctors sojourning there
since, much my punies in seniority and never fellows of the
college, whereas I was fellow there sure fiftecn years after I had
been fellow eight years in Pembroke Hall. I can say for myself
that I have spent so great part of my age either in reading the
best authors extant, as well in Law as in other [emploiable]
faculties, or in writing some discourses of private use or public
importance. [For in all my studies and exercises, especially since
I was Doctor] I had ever an earnest and curious care of sound
knowledge, [and esteemed no reading or writing without matter
of effectual use in esse] as I hope should soon appear if I werc
settled in a place of competent maintenance. Some men would
have used more plausible [means of insinuation] to my good
Lord Treasurer, that bave not written hall so much in honour
of his weighty & rare virtues, as I can impart at your leisure for
the perusal of such exercises. But I sought but his honour &
lame : as I did in sundry royal cantos (nigh as much in quantity
as Ariosto) in celebration of her Majesty's most glorious govern-
ment, some of them devised many years past at the instance of
the excellent knight and my inestimable dear friend Sir Philip
Sidney, some since the renowned victory in '88, which, never-
theless, I intended hot to publish in the lifetime of the Queen,

my purpose: but in case of mortalitie, or a thousand casualties
in foreign travel, I meant to commit them to.. sum . . frend].
Now, il: my good Lord Treasurer or yourselfshall not disallow
of them, it imports me to bestow a little time in the transcripting
and reforming of them, & to publish them, with other tracts and
discourses, some in Latin, some in English, some in verse, but
much more in prose ; some in Humanity, History, Policy, Law,
and the soul of the whole bod), of Law, Reason ; some in Mathe-
matics, Cosmography, the Art of Navigation, the Art of çVar,
the true Chymique without imposture (which I lcarned of Sir
Thomas Smith not to contemn) and other effectual practicable
knowledge. I speak it not any wa), to boast. For I can in one
year publish more than any Englishman hath hitherto done.
But thereof more at fitting opportunity. Now concerning my
present petition, if I might obtain a stay of that election and
then the Queen's mandate on my behalf, surely I should hold
myselfto be the most bounden unto your Honour ofany scholar
in England. Walden 8 Ma),.
We cannot imagine that Sir Robert Cecil made any
reply to this forlorn appeal. Neither Cambridge nor
London had any room for Gabriel Harvey; even at
Saff'ron Walden he probably never held any public
office. For another thirty-three years he lived on, a
disappointed man, in the scenes of his schoolboy
triumphs, till at last, on  February, 63o-i , the
Walden Burial Register enters his name «Mr. Doctor
Gabriell Harvey.' He had reached the age of eighty
or perhaps eighty-two. His mother had been buried
on 4 April, 6 3 : Richard Harvey had died at Chisle-
hurst early in 163o , still in his last will showing his
lifelong devotion to the elder brother.

pretender to astrology.' This account is corroborated by
Harvey's marginalia, which seem to show an increasing
interest in the study of medicine, and in physical
speculations and experiments. We know of few books
purchased by Harvey in those last years : the two last
on our list show, however, the persistence ofhis love for
his old favourites in literature, Speght's Cbaucer, 1598,
and Sidney's trcadia, 1613. He probably had some little
property at Walden,  and eked out a living by amateur
doctoring among his poorer neighbours : but spent most
of his time over his books, unless some visitor came
to whom he could pour forth his recollections of the
friends ofhis youth, Leicester and Sidney, and Spenser. 
It is a strange conclusion to the lire of the brilliant
young Humanist who aspired to be a great statesman,
but was only a dreamer of great dreams, if dreams can
be called great, which have no other definite object than
the attainment of personal master. We may feel that
we cannot appraise with exactitude the character of
any man who lived 3cc years ago. Yet I think we may
also feel in Harvey's case that, whatever he was, the
common view of him has been a ver wrong one. He
was nota pedant, who saw nothing good outside the
classical writers of Greece and Rome ; he was nota
Puritan, nor inclined to Puritanism, except so far as the
Puritan was a philosophical critic of the shortcomings
of existing institutions ; and however we may regret his
posthumous attacks on Greene and Perne, we shall refuse
to admit that so devoted a son and brother, so beloved
a friend ofSpenser, was a man of exceptionally bad heart.
 Nashe says that he spoke of «rents' coming in even before his father's death
(¢/ors, iii. 9x).

The right making of ptisana, or barlie water.
I. Take full growne barlie, that is heauie, & hOt
withered : take also cleere running water, that hath his
cours toward the East; whose grownd is stonie, or
15 sandie. Of this water take X partes, & of the barlie
one part: putt them togither into a cleene pot, make
a slowe tire vnder it of wood, twelue howres long, till
the water is coulored of the barlie yellow red, like to
bier ; after that take it of, & let it coole, & vse it.
o A good barlie water for ail diseases ofthe Lightes, &
manie other diseases.
Take half a pound of faire barlie : a gallon of water :
halle an ounce of Licorise : fenel seede, violets, parselie
seed, of etch a quarter of an ounce : red roses a quarter
25 of an ounce : drie Isop, & sauge ofetch a pennie weight ;
sixe leaues of hartestoung ; of figges, or raisins a quarter
of an ounce. Seeth all these in a newe pott, that the
water be sodden away two finger bredth: & sett the
pot in coIde water, & then straine the cleere from it, &
3o drinke it. This is a special barlie water, that cooleth the

Ptisana, or barlie water is commended of all physi-

it mooueth sweates & Vrine: it mollifieth the bellie

The two souerain Counsels, or Oracles of Apollonius

meate, to question, & discourse, with y° cunningest &
expertest men, where soeuer they becam. The souerain
vse of y diuine Morning : & excellent Conference.
His own sentences, were short, & adamantine: vttered 3o
like oracles, with A diuine grace: & he spake with A
certain dignity, like A prince, or Commander: tanquam
autoritatem habens. His wordes, were hOt pompously
affected ; but Attique, emphatical, & pithy : euer to y

purpose, & effèctual. He had ye cast, to ouerawe them,
that went abowt to restraine him. He woold shew them

if that will not serue, coniure them with A Gorgons hed.

 Baker, one must suppose, copied this heading, and the comFiimentary verses
of P. Strozza and C. Roselettus with their prefaces from Gabriel Harve),'s Manu-
script. The whole of this matter was» however, printed at the end of Liber I (p. z7)
of Harvey's Gratulationum I.'a/din«nsium x 578. There are a few differences ofreading
between the printed version and Baker's, for which Baker does hot appear to be
entirely responsible. This is rather curious, if the veres were really vritten by
the two Itallan strangers. Hariey's heading in thi irlnted book begins 'Italorum
duorum" not qtalorum Musarum'. In Strozza's verses there are these variants :

the surname Hubert known at Walden. Cf. my note on
p. 137 , i. 8 adfin. The chiefbranch ofthe family was repre-
sented by Edward Hubert, or Huberd, of Birchanger, one of
the six clerks in Chancery (HarL Soc. PubL, xiv. 584), whose

Dr. McKerrow remarks: 'The last title., seems to be
merely an error; it properly belonged to the poet Bernardo
Accolti . . Harvey makes the same mistake, IIorks, ed.
Grosart, , 25, I, 272.' Mr. Bullen points out that, if
Harvey and Nashe are wrong, they err in company with
Sir John Harington, who in his notice of Dr. ,V. Cotton,
Bishop of Exeter, refers to Petro Aretino, whom . . some
Italians call unico & divino" (Nugte /tntiqt«e, ed. 18o4, ii,
67).
p. 9,1.9_ 4 owldMr, lI'ythipoll. At the end of Twootbervery
commendable Letters (I58O), Harvey prints some Latin verses
with a paraphrase by Dr. Gouldingham made  at the request
of olde M. ,Vythipoll of Ipswiche,' an English translation by
Olde Maister rVythipol,' and a paraphrase of the last by
Harvey made at M. Peter ,Vythipolles request, for his
Father.' (Reprinted in Spenser's II/orks, ed. de Selincourt,
pp. 649-, 643). ' Owld Mr. .Vythipoll' was therefore the
father of Harvey's contemporary, Peter ,Vythipoll (see p. 185,
1. 9), who graduated B.C.L. of Cambridge in 1579--3, and
was Fellow of Trinity Hall till about 58o.
Further information is given by a pedigree of«rVythipool of
Ipswich' of the date  56 , printed in C. Metcalfe's l"isitations
of Sufl'olk, p. 89_. The first of the family to sertie in Ipswich
was Edmond rVythipool, Esq., who married Elizabeth, dau.
ofThos. Hynde of London, became the father ofeleven sons
and seven daughters, and died in May,  589-. His third son was
Bartholomew, his fifth Daniel, his eighth Peter.  Daniel' was
no doubt the Daniel W. who graduated B.A. in  559-6o and
M.A. in 1563. Further, Bartholomew and Daniel are clearly
the men known to us as the friends of the poet Gascoigne.
It was to  master Bartholmew Withipoll' that Gascoigne
addressed Councel . a little before his latter journey to
Geane, 1572, ' and both brothers are referred to by Harvey in
his verses on Gascoigne's death in 577 (Letterbook, p. 57):--
But praythe see where Withipolls cum
Daniel and Batt both atonse
In soothe their odd copesmate thou wert.'
It further becomes probable that Peter Wythipoll was the
P. W.' whose verses are prefixed to Gascoigne's Posies.

P- 97, l. 25 Ciuill and unciuill Lyfe. Harvey, from p. 97, 1.26,
to p. 99, l. 3, is quoting (sometimes hot quite exactly) from
a work which appeared in 1579, Cyuile and Fncyuile Lift; . .
by Richard Jones, and again in 1586 as Tbe English Courtier,
and tbe Ctro'-g,'ntleman (running title, Cyuile and lnçruile

from a work which seems to have disappeared, Tbe Floures
of Philosophie, with Plcasures of Poctrie annexed to tbem, London,
1572, 12 ° (by Sir Hugh Platt). Sir Egerton Br)'dges described
what he believed to be the only known copy (Cern. Litcraria,
viii. 1-17)as imperfect, as dedicated to Arme Dudley, Countess
of.Varwick, and as containing 883short sentences rioto Seneca.
This was no doubt the copy sold to Thorpe at the Heber Sale
for 4 s. and numbered 5353 in Part I of the catalogue. The
printer was H. t]ynneman. That copy was described as
 imperfect at the end.' [The above note is due to Dr. R. B.
McKerrow.] Sir Hugh Plat was matriculated as a pensioner
of St. John's College, 12 November, 1568 , and became
in 1571-2. He was therefore perhaps known to Harvey.

OE 54 _Notes

p. I 9, 1. 22 Fortij. I i,nagined at first that Harvey's admired
Fortius (see index for other references) was the physician-
astrologer Angelo di Forte or Angelus Fortius, author of
De Mirabilibus vitw humanw, Ven. 1533" a, closer examina-
tion of Harvey's references ruade it clear, however, that by
Fortius he meant Joachimus Fortius Ringelbergius (Joach.
Sterck van Ringelbergh), of Antwerp, whose Lucubrationes,
uel potius absolutissima ,cvc)tora[,a appeared at Antwerp in
529, Basel, 54, and under the title Opera at Lyons in
53 , 54, &c. The collection includes the treatise De
Ratione studij (dated 1529) , which we may imagine to bave
been the gospel of Harvey's youth. AIl Harvey's ardour to
attain glory and pre-eminence by study and self-mastery
may well bave been first fired by this eloquent tract which
long preserved its fame. An edition was published at Leyden
in 1619 and again in 1622 by the great orientalist Erpenius,
who attributed all his own devotion to study to his having
met with Ringelberg's treatise when he was an idle student
of 6. Dr. Vicesimus Knox celebratcd it in his 57th
Essay, and in 83o it was translated into English by G. B.
Earp, of Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, with a dedica-
tion to the underaduates of Cambridge, Oxford, and Dublin.
Besides this tract, Fortius' Lucubrationes include treatises on
Grammar, Dialectic, Rhetoric, Mathematics, Astrology, and
some miscellaneous articles, including a treatise De Homine.
In his copy of Foorth, 27" , Harvey has a note on a comparison
between Antwerp and Rome (in favour of Antwerp) drawn
by 'Joach. Fortius in proefatione ante Librum De Homine',
and another in his Commonplace Book, 51 v on the same
comparison, here ascribed to Fortius Ringelbergius'. He
quotes another saying of Fortius (ib. 49 v) 'Euentum ex ri
animorum Collige. Violenti, sine mora ad summa penetrant'.
He is here referring to a section of De Ratione Studii, headed
« Quibus signis cognoscantur illi qui ad magnam in scribendo
gloriam peruenient'. Fortius divides students into three
classes according to the degree of their ardour: those who
will not allow their studies to trench on their mealtime%whom
he calls propensi'; those who make light of their meals,
whom he calls propensiores'; and those who will corne a
long distance in the middle ofnight to study with him, whom
he calls  violenti ' (and of whom he bas had no experience).
Si talis existeret quisquam, . . hunc putarem sine mora ad

summa uelle penetrare .... Ergo euentum ex ui animorum
colligo.' I, a note in his Oovo#m, p.  86, Harvey writes :
'Sic Alcander Linguas: Fortius Artes: Ludouicus Pro-
tonotarius Leges promptissimè perdiscebant.' Fortius bas
given a most interesting account of his early studies in De
Ratione tudii» under the heading 'Qua ratione vitare possis
in scribendo toedium'. His works were perhaps well knowr.
in Cambridge, as the O]2era Ringelbergi (along with Mar-
garita philosophie and Facetle Poggii) were among the books
of Robert Pickering, M.D., of Cambridge, who died in 1552
(W. M. Palmer in the Camb. /lntiq. Soc. Commun. xv, o76 ).

The word is often confused with iv&gXm , 'persistence'-
cf. Cic. Tusc. I,
appellat, novo nomine, quasi quamdam continuatam moti-
onem et peremnem.' It is perhaps in this sense that Harvey
uses it. Harvey dilates on Nimble Entelechy in his ?l/'orks
(Grosart), II, IO5--7, and finds it in « the saile of the ship,
the flighte of the bowe, . . the quintessence ofthe minde, . .
the heate of the tire,' &c. It is the «head-spring of the
powerfullest Verrues'. He calls it (p. 268) 'now a vulgar
French,and English word,' though Nashe had mocked him for
using it. Trip#x Entelechia (p. 9 I, I. 29, p. o6, I. 23)seems
to mean « persistent attention to the goods of Body, mind,
and Fortune'. Cf. an unprinted note in his Omovom, p. 44 :

M.A. 1566, M.D. 1576, Fellow ofPembroke 1567, Fellow
of the College of Physicians 1584, principal physician to
Elizabeth and James I, died 1605. For Harvey's relations
with him at the rime the grace for his M.A. degree was
opposed at Pembroke and a little after, see his Letterbook, pp.
21, 29, 3o, 35, 43 (disregarding note a), 45-52. It would
appear from the present passage that Harvey succeeded Browne
at Pembroke in a fellowship set apart for medicine when
Browne left Cambridge for London. Mr. H. G. Comber,
however, Bursar of Pembroke, has kindly looked up the
College records and informs me he has round no trace of
anything of the sort.
There is another reference to Browne in Harvey's notes
on Freigius' Preface to his Momicus (not printed below, on
p. 203) : ' Tria nobilia, et famosa problemata : ex Aristotelis,
Auerrois, Plinij, et Pomponatij Theorematis. Eadem etiam

opposition to ftarvey in 1573]. Commenting later on
Freigius' account of his disputation with a Jesuit, who finally
fled from the place in consequence of the uproar against him,
Harvey writes: 'Similis fere exitus trium proelectionum

P-x53, 1. 6 by y" resolution af Eusebius. Hierocles, Governor
of Bithynia, having compared the miracles of Christ with
those of Apollonius in a treatise written against the Christians,
Eusebius, Bishop of Coesarea (c. 265-c. 338), replied with a
critical examination of the lire and alleged acts of Apollonius
as told by Flavius Philostratus (c. 18u-c. u5o). Eusebius'
tract is entitled Hpb¢ Tà

Xpt«rofi OE7pt«t,,. Eusebius' 'resolution' or determination
of the crue, seems hardly as definite as Harvey asserts.
Eusebius was of course, the author of the Ecclesiastkal
History.

p. 156, !. 21 Jordanus Neapolitanus, &c. I have little doubt that
Giordano Bruno is meant, and that Harvey gives us some
fresh facts about the disputation in which Bruno took part
at Oxford in 1583 . Bruno, who was of course born at
Nola, near Naples, came from Paris to England in 583,
aud round his way to Oxford, where he began courses of
lectures. From IO to I 3 June the Polish Prince, Alasco,
was in Oxford, and Bruno was one of those who disputed
before him and some of the English nobility. If, as Harvey
says, Bruno brought all questions back to Aristotelian com-
monplaces, this must have been because he knew Oxford
was a stronghold of Aristotelianism, he himself having only
lately at Paris supported Raymond Lulli against the authority
of Aristotle. Bruno gives a poor account of his Oxford
antagonist (whom we learn from Harvey to bave been Dr.
Underhill), and of the behaviour of his audience, who were
so incensed against him that he had to break off his courses
of lectures and leave Oxford. Bruno's own words in La
Cena de le Ceneri (1584, p. 93) are as follows: ' Andate in
Oxonia et fateui raccontar le cose intrauenute al Nolano,
quando publicamente disput6 coi, qu dottori in Theologia
in presenza del Principe Alasco Polacco, et altri della nobilit.
Inglesa. fateui dire come si sapea rispondere fi gli argomenti ?

fatte finire le sue publiche letture, et quelle de immortalitate
animoe, et quelle de quintuplici sphera?' After leaving
Oxford, Bruno stayed for two years in London under
the protection of the French Ambassador, Castelnau de
Mauvissi&re, and here consorted with Philip Sidney, Fulke

Greville, and Dyer. Bruno's account of their meetings is
perhaps the best evidence we have for the existence of
something like a philosophical club or "Areopagus' in
Sidney's circle (see p. 3o above). "Ve met,' he says, "in a
chamber in the house of Sir Fulk Greville . . to discuss
moral, metaphysical, mathematical and natural speculations'
(Cena de le Ceneri, trans. I. Frith, Life of G. Bruno, p. 128).
Possibly Harvey met him during this time. See, besides
Frith's lire, Giordano Bruno, by J. L. McIntyre, pp. 21-24.

p. 157, l. I I Lucian, Rhetor. The reference fs, I suppose, to
the Lucianic piece, «Rhetorum prœeceptor,' ironical advice to

note in his Quintilian, p. 634: 'Hodie Luciani rhetor vult
dominari: ni regnet Eunapij orator.' Cf. Harvey, lI'ork,
(Grosart), II, 44: 'Lucians Rhetor, neuer so brauely fur-

College of Physicians in London. In 1573 he was appointed
physician to the royal household for life, being succeeded on
his death (c. 1581 ) by Dr. Roderigo Lopez. He was
physician to Lord Leicester (see Scott's Kenihvorth, Note G.)
and in this connexion was probably known to Harvey.

slightly altered form, and as a reply to a rebus on the naine
of a M'. Noel, whom I identify with the court-wit, Henry
Noel, who, according to Bacon, compared courtiers to fast-
ing-days which are next the holy-days, ),et in themselves
the most meagre days of the week (/lpophthegms, and used to
illustrate passages in the De Atugmentis). Thus in Hannah :m

«The foe to the stomacke, & the word of disgrace

Introduction, p. xlix.
« Hannah says the rebus on the naine of Noel has been
ascribed to Raleigh hot only by Manningham in his Diary,
from whom he quotes, through Collier, but that other authori-
ties give it to him. It is, however, sometimes ascribed to
Queen Elizabeth. Manningham puts the «Raw Ly" couplet
first, and the other next, but Hannah follows Collier's ren-
dering (Hist. Drain. Poetry, I, 336, n.). The "Raw Ly"
lines are round in other places quoted by Hannah.
'The saine play on Raleigh's naine occurs in another
poem in Hannah, which is ascribed to Raleigh himself, but
erroneously so :--

Notes

p. I88, 1.6 Play with me, &c. I am indebted for the following
note to Mr. Charles Crawford: 'Harvey is quoting this
proverb direct from Sir John Harington's Orlando Furioso,
note to Book xu, and he has tacked on to the saying the
remark, slightly varied, used by Harington, who says : "that
excellent rule of civilitie is evermore to be kept:
Play with me and hurt me not,
Jest with me and shame me not."
' Harington quotes the proverb in the saine form in his
A,letamorlhosis ofAjax ; but Puttenham, when using it, puts
it thus :
" Jape with me but hurt me hot,
Bourde with me but shame me hOt."
Artc of Eng. Poesie, p. 26I (Arber).

3ooE Notes

p. 22I, 11. I 1-18 Harvey's statement ,vas perhaps influenced by
a passage of Machiavelli, The Prince, xxv. 'I thought it
more convenie*,t to respect the eternal verity than the
imagination of the thi*,g (and many bave framed imaginary
Commonwealths and Governments to themselves, which
never were seen, nor had any real existence)... Laying
aside therefore all imaginable notions of a Prince, and dis-
coursing of nothing but what is actually truc, &c. (ed. I68o,
p. 219). Cf. p. 197, ll. 32-34 and the note.
p. 22,1. I8 Beato. Baker's MS. bas 'D:ato'or'Diato' (what
follows the ' D' is blurred). Harvey's ' B' is often so fo*med
as to be easily misread as D', and I bave little doubt that
Baker misread it and could make nothing of the word.
Professor Henry Jackson, who kindly considered the point
at the request of my frie*,d Mr. J. H. Hessels who also took
a great deal of trouble in the matter, considers Beato' to be a
satisfactory solution ofthe difficulty. He writes, 'The subject
of the Ethics may be said to be, «how shall a man attain
,«.«qaovm. In IV. 3 there is an elaborate characterization
of the great-souled man (/a,3¢«,kdç\oç) which seems to show
Aristotle's conception of the cïm'latov. h the Post dnaL, B
xvm p. 97, Aristotle names Alcibiades, Achilles, Ajax,
Lysander and Socrates, as persons in whom /a3,«),oç,,\[«
might be studied. But even so, Harvey is justified in treating
tbe characterization as ideal : it is hot a portrait. So it cornes
under the same criticism as the Republic and tbe Cyropwdia."

p. 222, 1. 8 concedentibus. The sentence seems to run on to
contingebat', l.  I. The sentence 'Si tamen', &c., ifBaker
bas copied it correctly, is very awkward and involved. The
full stops at ll.  5 and 2o must be ignored, and the sentence
extended to 'peridoneus', l. 26. Even so, it is only a
corrective addition to the previous sentence, 'if indeed any
of these or ail of them together were to be compared with
Smith in knowledge of such great matters that at the age of

There seem to be no extant editions of the CoMer of Canter-
burie between the first edition of x59 o and that of 16o8.
The latter was reprinted in 1862 by Mr. F. Ouvry from a
copy in his possession believed to be unique. He collated it
with Malone's copy of the I59O edition in the Bodleian, and
stated that the only substantial difference hetween the two
editions was in 'The eight ortier of Cuckolds'. In this
title we bave 'orders' (I59O), 'ortier' (6o8). The fourth
order is 'Innocent' (I59O), 'Patient' (16o8), the eighth
ortier 'Quem facit Ecclesia' (159o), 'Innocent' (6o8). The
list Harvey gives shows that he used the edition of I6O8,
always assuming there was no intermediate edition ; and in
that case these notes on the arguments to Chaucer's raies
cannot be dated earlier than that year. The book was, how-
ever, licensed to J. Newbery on I2 June, 16oo (Stat. Reg.
nl. 163) , and this, as Mr. Esdaile surmises (English Tahs,
P-37), suggests the issue of an edition in that year. A
further edition called The Alerry Tales af the Cobler of Canter-
burie., appeared in 64. For Robert Greene's repudiation

is clear that Harvey paid special hecd to descriptions of times

passages in the poets was written at the saine time as or
somewhat later than the notes now belote us.

about this time--see note on p. 9-9-9, 1. 19 above--and
p. 226, !. 97, p. 228,1.3, P- 933, !. 12) 'Axiopbilus' stands for

l. 33) considered Axiopbilus to be Spenser, Mr. A. H. Bullen
bas suggested Sir Edward D),er: while Mrs. Stopes bas
independentl), suggested Sir Edward D),er or the Erl of
Derb),. In support of lais suggestion, Mr. lqullen refers to
Sidney's 'Pastorall' in Davison's Poetical Rhalsody (6o2) :
'Made b), Sir Pbilip Sidney vpon lais meeting with his two
worth), Friends and fellow-Poets, Sir Edward D),er and
Maister Fulke Greuill.' Tbis might bave led Harve), to call
D),er 'Axiopbilus'. I see no reason, bowever, wby Harve),
(wbo bas mentioned Dyer b), naine just above) sbould find
it necessar), to give bim a coined naine here: and I think it
ver), characteristic of Harve), to speak of himself in this
m),sterious manner. As to Fe,dinando, Earl of Derb),, the
fact tbat he had died in 594 seems to me to make him
impossible. It is gratif),ing to me to bear tbat Mr. G. F.

Sir John Sandys and Dr. McKerrow, who most kindly

Sir John Sandys tells me there is no trace of any such work

(864) , no," in Polizia,ao's Prose P'olgari inediti, Poeffe Latine

Politian D. Bembo's Italian translation of the commentary
of Hierocles (Ve,aice, 16o4). This would be possible if
Harvey's note were of so late a date. Perhaps there was an
earlier edition of Bembo's translation.

p. 233 , l. 3 BVatson. See note on p. 232 , l. x7 above.
p. 233 ,1. 6 Doctor Gager. William Gager, D.C.L. of Christ
Church, Oxford, author of the Latin plays, Rivales, Dido,
,Ieleager, &c., and the antagonist of Rainolds in thc stage-
play controversy. It is interesting to see that Harvey, though
so often called a Puritan, was a friend of Gager's. Thc
D. N. B. gives a list of his unpublished works in Latin verse
contained in Add. MS. 22583 .
P" 233,1" 7 M. Hackluit. Rich. Hakluyt, M.A. Oxon. 1577.
His Principall Navigations appeared in one volume in 1589,
again in three vols. in 1598-16oo. His last work P'irginia
ri¢bly valued (from the Portuguese)appeared in 16o9, and at
his death in 1616 he left a large collection of MSS., some of
which were used by Purchas, and others are preserved in the
Bodleian (D. N. B.}.
P. 33, 1.80wem new Epigrams. John Owen's Latin Epigram-
mata were first published in 16o6. One, however, addressed
to Lord Burleigh is dated 1596 (D. N. B.}, so Harvey may
bave seen some of them in MS. by 16oo, or carlier.
