Recently, I scanned through a copy of Thomas Fuller's *The History of
the Worthies of England*, first published in 1662. I wanted to read
Fuller's biographical synopses of Christopher Marlowe, William
Shakespeare, and George Sandys. Well, I was a little surprised that
Marlowe was just not worthy enough for inclusion in Fuller's work. I
guess Marlowe was still, in 1662, too widely thought of as a dastardly
homosexual atheist, an embarrassment to the heritage of England. But,
worthy Shakespeare was there, as well as worthy Sandys. Another mild
surprise? Shakespeare's writeup was equal in length to that of Sandys.

One line in Fuller's writeup for George Sandys, struck me as being
vaguely familiar. Here is that line:

"He most elegantly translated "Ovid's Metamorphoses" into English
verse; so that, as the soul of Aristotle was said to have
transmigrated into Thomas Aquinas (because rendering his sense so
naturally), Ovid's genius may seem to have passed into Master Sandys."

And now, here is a famous line about William Shakespeare from Francis
Meres' *Palladis Tamia, Wits Treasury*, first published in 1598:

"As the soule of Euphorbus was thought to live in Pythagoras : so the
sweete wittie soule of Ovid lives in mellifluous & hony-tongued
Shakespeare, witnes his Venus and Adonis, his Lucrece, his sugred
Sonnets among his private friends, &c."

So, it certainly seems like Shakespeare and Sandys had similar
spirits. Did Fuller consciously mimic Meres' praise for Shakespeare to
praise Sandys? I think he did.

But, whatever! That nasty, unworthy Marlowe translated Ovid so
beautifully in rhymed couplets of iambic pentameter. And,
coincidentally, so did Sandys.

Truly,

Yogi,

Do you know if this work is available on-line ?
Can you post the link to it if there is one?

_Virginia's Father: King James I_ by Bruce P. Lenman

<<James was clear that after 1607 he was the father of all Virginians.
The word colony was not used as much as the term plantation,
because Virginia was England planted in America.

James wanted his ascension to the English throne to be followed by an
incorporating union between England & Scotland. He called on his first
English Parliament in 1604 to pass on "the blessings, which God hath in
my person bestowed upon you all," by legislating for such a union. He
believed he was the husband of his kingdoms, inflicting on the English
legislature at Westminster embarrassingly explicit, disorganized
speeches about the difficulties of SLEEPING WITH TWO WIVES IN ONE BED.

Nobody really wanted his union. In Westminster the opposition was led
by a future treasurer of the Virginia Company, Sir Edwin SANDYS, who
said that he thought the proposal entirely unnecessary. By 1607,
when Virginia was being born, the Jacobean Anglo-Scottish union
was in its final death-throes at Westminster,
a situation that James deemed an insult to him, and to God.>>
--------------------------------------------------------------------
http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/History/Barons/barons5.html

The family of SANDYS has been traced back to the reign of Richard II.

GEORGE SANDYS, in the reign of king Henry VIII, had issue,

1. GEORGE, who was killed at the battle of Pinkey 10 September 1547.
2. Edwin.
3. Miles.

Edwin, second son of GEORGE, embraced the clerical profession, and was
an early confessor of the protestant faith. Having from the pulpit
recommended the cause of lady Jane Grey, he was committed to the Tower
25 July 1553, and afterwards removed to the Marshalsea prison. He was
in an extraordinary manner, and particularly by the generous conduct
of sir Thomas Holcroft knight marshal, delivered from confinement, and
assisted to escape into Germany. Upon the accession of Elizabeth I
[Edwin SANDYS] was elected 12 November 1559 lord bishop of Worcester,
and translated 19 January 1577 to the archiepiscopal see of York.

Archbishop SANDYS died 8 August 1588. He had issue,

1. SAMUEL, grandfather of SAMUEL, who adhered to the party of king
Charles the first in the civil wars, and suffered greatly for his
loyalty both in his person and property; and of Richard, who was
killed in the battle of Edgehil 23 October 1642.

2. Edwin, who was imprisoned, together with the celebrated John
Selden, for his conduct in parliament in the year 1621. He was author
of a View of the State of Religion in the West of Europe, and had issue
Edward, who was killed at Worcester in the year 1642 ; and Richard,
father of Richard who was created a baronet by king Charles II.

3. MILES, created a baronet by king James the first 25 November 1612.

4. GEORGE, who published an Account of his Travels,
and a Collection of Poems.

<<GEORGE SANDYS, youngest brother of Sir Edwin SANDYS, came to Virginia

he became colonial treasurer of the Virginia Company. Between 1619-1621,
about 70 percent of the 3500 Virginia colonist perished because of
disease & famine. In 1622 the Indians killed dozens of settlers living
at Martin's Hundred, about 15 miles from Sherley Plantation, on the
James River near Jamestown. In 1619, just a few miles from Jamestown,
land was patented at "ARCHERS HOPE".

Master Edward Ferrys <=> George Ferrers
-------------------------------------------------------------
http://www.clark.net/tross/ws/rep.html#4

<<Puttenham discusses classical drama in some detail,
but he has very little to say about contemporary plays.

HE SEEMS COMPLETELY UNAWARE OF THE EXISTENCE OF PUBLIC THEATERS,
but is only concerned with performances before the monarch:

That for Tragedy, the Lord of Buckhurst, and Master Edward Ferrys
for such doings as I have seen of theirs do deserve the highest price:

Th'Earl of Oxford and Master Edwardes of her Majesty's Chapel
for Comedy & Interlude.

Buckhurst's sole contribution to tragedy was the last two acts
of Gorboduc (1562); Edwards's sole comedy was Damon and Pithias
(1565: Edwards also wrote a two-part tragedy, Palamon and Arcite,
which has not survived).

The oddity on the list is the name "Edward Ferrys." No gentleman of
that name is known to have written plays or even poetry in 16th-Century
England, but an earlier reference in Puttenham sheds some light
on this mystery:

In king Edward the sixths time ... Edward Ferrys ... wrate for the
most part to the stage, in Tragedy and sometime in Comedy or Interlude,
wherein he gave the king so much good recreation, as he had thereby
many good rewards.

It seems likely that Puttenham is referring to George Ferrers, a lawyer,
courtier, and poet of the mid-16th Century, who was the Lord of Misrule
(the supervisor of court entertainments) under Edward VI, and who
contributed to court entertainments in Elizabeth's time. Unfortunately,
not one play by George Ferrers is known to us even by name.>>

<<From 1617-1619 in England, Sir Edwin Sandys, Knight, was chosen
assistant to Sir Thomas Smith, one of London's "merchant princes". He
traveled far & wide promoting Virginia. His interests in colonization
apparently dates from the organization in 1606 of the first London
Company, or as it afterwards was called, the Virginia Company. He became
a member of the Council of Virginia March 6, 1607. In 1614, Sandys
became a member of the East India Company and later the Virginia
Company. In 1619 Sandys was elected to take the place of Sir Thomas
Smith and he became the treasurer of the Virginia Company. It was at
this time the Puritans at Leyden in the Netherlands, sent messages to
consult with Sandys in regard to their settling in Virginia. He was
sympathetic toward the Puritans. Under Sandy's administration of the
Virginia Company, the struggling colony now began to really prosper but
he was convinced that its ultimate success depended upon the grant to
the colonists of a large measure of self government. Under his direction
in May 1619 a committee of the Company drew up a form of government for
the colony. Governor Francis Yeardley was directed by Sandys to issue
writs for the election of a general assembly, and July 30, 1619 the
first representative legislature body ever assembled in America met at
Jamestown. King James was greatly displeased by the independent
tendencies exhibited by parliament and did not call it together between
1614 and 1621. During this time the meetings of the large and powerful
Virginia Company, to which nearly 100 members of parliament belonged,
and most of whom were opposed to the court party, served as an open
forum for discussion of questions of general political interest. Sandys
was looked upon by the King as the leader of the opposition. When the
annual election for the treasurer or head of the company approached in
1620, the King sent a messenger forbidding the reelection of Sandys.
Sandys withdrew his name. In October 1623, King James brought suit
against the Virginia Company and a subservient court declared
the charter of the Virginia Company null and void July 1624.
Virginia became a royal colony. Sir Edwin Sandy died in 1629
and is buried at Northbourne Church in Kent CO. England.>>
