Extract

The communication which I desire to make to the Society on the present occasion will be found to be in some respects peculiarly unsatisfactory. It is a tale of an interesting manuscript, imperfect; of inquiries respecting it, unavailing; of researches, baffled on every hand; and now of an ultimate appeal to this Society, in the hope that some Member may supply the deficiencies which I have not been able to remove.

page 353 note a Mr. Durrant Cooper informs me that the only note of any speech of Sackville's that he has found is one reported in a very unfriendly spirit in the proceedings against Lord Vaux and others for harbouring Campion, published in Archæologia, vol. XXX. p. 106.

page 353 note b A contemporary epigram on his election to the chancellorship of Oxford, for a reference to which I am indebted to Mr. Durrant Cooper, contains some little evidence of the estimation in which Buckhurst was held in 1591. It is derived from MS. Addit. 3728, fol. 65, a volume of poems in honour of Buckhurst, compiled and addressed to him by William Thorn, Fellow of New College.

Occidit Hattonus, retrahit sua lumina Phœbus,

Nee visa in nostris lux fuit ulla scholis.

Sacvillus venit, en reddit sua lumina Phœbus,

Jamque coma solito splendidiore nitet.

Obscuras veteres obscurabisque priores,

Nemo fuit similis, nemo secundus erit.

Sis bonus 6 felixque tuis: interque clientes

(Alme) tuos aliquem me precor esse velis.
