http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Neville_%28politician%29
<<Sir Henry Neville (1564 – 10 July 1615) was an English courtier,
politician & diplomat, noted for his role as ambassador to France
and his unsuccessful attempts to negotiate between James I of
England and the Houses of Parliament. In 2005, he was put
forward as a candidate for the authorship of Shakespeare's works.
Neville was the first born child of Sir Henry Neville Senior (d. 1593)
and his wife, Elizabeth, daughter of John Gresham of Fulham in
Middlesex. His father was the great-great-grandson of Ralph Neville,
1st Earl of Westmorland and Joan Beaufort, Countess of Westmoreland.
Joan was daughter of John of Gaunt, 1st Duke of Lancaster
and Katherine Swynford.
Henry grew up at Billingbear House at Waltham St Lawrence in
Berkshire, was educated at Merton College, Oxford and sat in
Parliament as the member for New Windsor (1584, 1586 and 1593),
Sussex (1589), Liskeard (1597) and Berkshire (1604, 1614).
He served as High Sheriff of Berkshire in 1595. Before his
father's death, he lived at the old Archbishop's Palace at
Mayfield in Sussex where he ran a highly successful cannon
manufactury. He was apppointed Deputy Lieutenant of
Berkshire in 1596 and moved to Billingbear the next year.
In 1599, Neville was appointed Ambassador to France and attended the
Court of Henri IV. Although knighted for his services in France, he
was unhappy with the way he was treated by the French and in 1600,
complaining of deafness, he asked to be recalled to England.
After his return he became involved with the Essex Rebellion of
1601 and was imprisoned in the Tower of London. He was stripped
of his position and fined £5,000, which he agreed to pay in annual
instalments of £1,000. After the death of Elizabeth I of England and
the accession of James I a Royal Warrant was issued for his release.
After his release, he played a greater role in the political life of
the nation, but earned the antagonism of King James by advocating the
King surrender to the demands of the House of Commons. It was this
action that, on the death of Robert Cecil, 1st Earl of Salisbury,
lost him the possibility of becoming the Secretary of State. Although
offered the position of Treasurer of the Chamber he turned it down.
Neville died in 1615 and was buried
at the church of St Lawrence in Waltham St Lawrence.
In The Truth Will Out, published in 2005, authors Brenda James,
lecturer at the University of Portsmouth, and William Rubinstein,
professor of history at Aberystwyth University, propose that Neville,
who was a distant relative by marriage of Shakespeare's mother,
is the actual author of Shakespeare's works. According to James
and Rubinstein, Neville's career placed him in the locations
of many of the plays about the time they were written,
and his life contains parallels with the events in the plays.
Neville married Anne Killigrew (daughter of Sir Henry Killigrew
and Catherine Cooke) and they had five sons and six daughters.>>

CIX. To Sir Henry Nevil.
WHo now calls on thee, Nevil, is a Muse,
That *sERVEs nor FAME* , nor Titles; but doth chuse
Where Virtue makes them both, and that's in thee:
Where all is fair, beside thy Pedigree.
Thou art not one, seek'st miseries with hope,
Wrestlest with dignities, or fain'st a scope
Of service to the Publick, when the end
Is private gain, which hath long guilt to Friend.
Thou rather striv'st the matter to possess,
And elements of honour, than the dress;
To make thy lent Life, good *against the FATES* :
And first to know thine own state, then the States.
To be the same in root, thou art in height;
And that thy Soul should give thy *FLESH* her weight.
Go on, and doubt not, what Posterity,
Now I have sung the thus, shall judg of thee.
Thy Deeds, unto thy Name, will prove new Wombs,
Whil'st others toil for Titles to their Tombs.
....
CX. To Clement Edmonds, on his Cæsar's Commentaries
observed, and translated.
NOt Cæsar's Deeds, nor all his Honours won,
In these West-parts, nor when that War was do[N]e,
The Name of Pompey for an Enem[Y],
Cato's to boot, Rome, and her Libe[R]ty,
All yielding to his Fortune, [N]or, the while,
To have engrav'd th[E]se Acts, with his own stile,
And t[H]at so strong and deep, as't might be thought,
He wrote, with the same Spirit that he fought,
Nor that his work liv'd in the hands of Foes,
Unargued then, and yet hath Fame from those;
Not all these, Edmonds, or what else put too,
Can so speak Cæsar, as thy Labours do.

Brenda James's *Henry Neville* :
..............................................
_Henry Neville and The SHAKEspeare Code_
Review by P. G. Taylor (Sutton Courtenay, England)
http://www.scripophily.net/cornevisbrid.html
.
<<The code referred to here is in the 144 letter
dedication to the first edition of SHAKEspeare's sonnets:
.
TOTHEO..-- *N* __..LIEBEGET
TEROFT.._- *H* __..ESEINSVI

MISEDB.._-- *Y* __..OVREVERL
IVING..__- *POET* __..WISHET
.
It took Brenda James years to figure it out!
.
Henry Neville's own nickname was Falstaff - and he himself was fat!
The first time Falstaff ever appeared in a play by SHAKEspeare he
was called "Oldcastle", a pun on Ne Ville - New Town. Neville spent
nearly 3 years in the Tower of London with Southampton, to whom
the sonnets are dedicated Southampton is the Mr W.H. in the
dedication. He is called Mr, because he lost the title
of Earl when he was put in the Tower.>>

Harrie, I doe not onelie maruaile where thou spendest thy

cammomill the [M]ore it is t[R]oden on, th[E] faster it [G]rowes:
so y[O]uth the mo[R]e it is wasted, the soo{N}er it wear{E}s:
that tho{U} art my son {I} haue part{L}y thy moth{E}rs

tricke of thine eye, and a foolish hanging of thy neather
lippe, that dooth warrant me. If then thou bee sonne to mee,
heere lies the poynt, why beeing sonne to me, art thou
so pointed at? shal the blessed sunne of heauen proue a mi-
cher, and eat black-berries? a question not to be askt. Shall the
sonne of England proue a theefe, and take purses? a question to
be askt. There is a thing Harry, which thou hast often heard of,
and it is knowne to many in our land by the name of pitch. This
pitch (as ancient writers do report) doth defile, so doth the com-
panie thou keepest: for Harrie now, I do not speake to thee in
drinke, but in teares; not in pleasure but in passion: not in
words onely, but in woes also: and yet there is a vertuous man,
whom I haue often noted in thy companie, but I know not his name.

<<*NE VILE Velis* was originally the personal motto of [Thomas
Neville],
who lived from 1544 to 1614 - a man who was held in affection and
trust by his fellow countrymen as a person of culture, integrity
and good taste. He achieved status as Master of Trinity College
Cambridge and subsequently as Dean of Canterbury Cathedral. Such was
the trust and regard in which Neville was held that he was chosen by
the Archbishop of Canterbury for the important function of bearing the
united greetings of the clergy of England to King James in Scotland
on his accession to the throne. When King James visited him at
Cambridge in 1614, he stated that he was "proud of such a subject".
A contemporary at Cambridge said of him: "he never had his
like for a splendid, courteous and bountiful gentleman".
With the motto *NE VILE Velis* ("nothing distasteful or vulgar")
Neville was able to embody his personal philosophy in a phrase
that incorporated his own name (which he spelt *NE VILE*).
Alan Webb, proprietor of Oriental Rugs of Bath comments:
"Thomas Neville created a model for the qualities of good taste
and standards of conduct that are singularly worth perpetuating.
Although the passage of time has made him less widely known,

Falstaff was the satirical name applied to William Brooke and
his son Henry, the [7th & 8th] Lords Cobham, by their political
enemies; as it was William’s taking of offense over the
Oldcastle name being used as comic relief that was the
reason that Oldcastle had to be changed to Falstaff.
A “miller’s thumb” is a small freshwater fish also known as a cob.
Nashe calls Henry, “the silliest miller’s thombe” in Lenten Stuffe.
Elizabeth is therefore relating to her husband that Henry Lord
Cobham has secretly had an illegitimate child by Margaret Radcliffe.
----------------------------------------------------------------
In 1598, a letter from the earl of Essex to Robert Cecil then
on a diplomatic mission in France contains the postscript:
"I pray you commend me allso to Alex. Ratcliff and tell
him for newes his sister is maryed to Sr Jo. Falstaff."
The reference to the sister of "Alex. Ratcliff" is to Margaret
Radcliffe. Elizabeth's maid of honor, who was courted in vain
by [Henry Brooke Cobham, 8th Lord Cobham and Lord Chamberlain].

<<A postscript to a letter written by Elizabeth Vernon,
now Lady Southampton, on 8th July 1599, to her husband,
who was in Ireland with Essex. She writes from Chartley:
............................................................
“Al the nues I can send you that I thinke will make you mery is that
I reade in a letter from London that *Sir John Falstaf* is by his
Mrs Dame *Pintpot* made father of a godly millers thum a boye
thats all heade and very litel body: but this is a secrit.”
............................................................
Here we have record that Shakespeare’s patron, and his patron’s
wife, knew that Falstaff had a living prototype who was
numbered among their acquaintances. That the birth of this
child was not in wedlock is suggested by the concluding
words of the Countess’s letter “but this is a secret.”>>

{T}homas {NEVILE} (1544 – 10 July 1614)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Neville_%28scholar%29
..............................................................
<<Alexander Neville (1544–1614) was an English scholar, known as
a historian and translator. He was brother of Thomas Neville,
dean of Canterbury, and son of Richard Neville of South Leverton,
Nottinghamshire, by Anne, daughter of Sir Walter Mantell of
Heyford, Northamptonshire. His mother's sister Margaret
was mother of Barnabe Googe. (Neville contributed English
verses to Barnabe Googe's Eglogs and Sonettes, 1563.)
Alexander was educated at the University of Cambridge, where he
graduated M.A. in 1581, at the same time as Robert Devereux, 2nd Earl
of Essex. On leaving the university he seems to have studied law in
London, where he became acquainted with George Gascoigne. He is one of
the five friends whom Gascoigne describes as challenging him to write
poems on Latin mottoes proposed by themselves. Neville soon entered
the service of Archbishop Matthew Parker apparently as a secretary,
and edited for him Tabula Heptarchiae Saxonicae.
He attended Parker's funeral on 6 June 1575, and wrote an elegy in
Latin heroics. He remained in the service of Parker's successors,
Edmund Grindal and John Whitgift. Possibly he is identical with the
Alexander Neville who sat in parliament as M.P. for Christchurch,
Hampshire, in 1585, and for Saltash in 1601. He died on 4 October
1614, and was buried on 9 October in Canterbury Cathedral, where the
dean erected a monument to commemorate both his brother and himself.
He married Jane, daughter of Richard Buncombe of Morton,
Buckinghamshire, and widow of Sir Gilbert Dethick, but left no issue.
His major work was an account in Latin of Kett's rebellion of 1549,
to which he appended a description of Norwich and its antiquities.
The work, which was undertaken under Parker's guidance, was entitled
A. Nevylii...de Furoribus Norfolcensium Ketto Duce. Eiusdem Norvicus,
London (by Henry Binneman), 1575. A list of the mayors and sheriffs
of Norwich was added. The dedication was addressed to Parker, and
Thomas Drant prefixed verses. A passage in it spoke of the laziness
of the Welsh levies who had taken part in the suppression of Kett's
rebellion, and compared the Welsh soldiers to sheep. Offence was taken
by the government at this sneer, and a new edition was at once issued
with the offensive sentences omitted and an additional dedication to
Archbishop Grindal, the successor of Parker. Neville also published
in 1576 'A. Nevylii ad Walliae proceres apologia' (London, by Henry
Binneman), in which he acknowledged his error of judgment. The account
of Kett was appended under the title 'Kettus' to Christopher Ocland's
Anglorum Praelia, 1582, and in 1615 an English translation by the Rev.
Richard Woods of Norwich appeared with the title Norfolk Furies their
Foyle under Kett and their Accursed Captaine: with a description
of the famous Citye of Norwich; another edition is dated 1623.
Neville was also a writer of Latin verse and prose. His earliest
publication was a translation of Seneca's Oedipus, into a rough ballad
metre in 1560, and dedicated to Henry Wotton. Thomas Newton included
it in his 'Seneca his Tenne Tragedies, London, 1581. In 1587 appeared
Neville's Academiae Cantabrigiensis lacrymse tumulo ... P. Sidneij
sacratae per A. Nevillum, Cambridge, 1587, with a dedication to
the Earl of Leicester. Sir John Harington commended this poem
in his annotations on Ariosto's Orlando Furioso (bk. 37).>>

Bound for the prize of (all to precious) you,
That did my ripe thoughts in my braine inhearse,
Making their tomb the wombe wherein they grew?
Was it his spirit, by spirits taught to write,
Aboue a mortall pitch, that struck me dead?
No, neither he, nor his compiers by night
Giuing him ayde, my verse asto{N}ished.

<<TOM CECIL, seeing how ill they had succeeded, and what a sorry
end their expedition had come to, said to the bachelor, "Sure
enough, Senor SAMSON Carrasco, we are served right; it is easy
enough to plan and set about an enterprise, but it is often a
difficult matter to come well out of it. Don Quixote a madman, and
we sane; he goes off laughing, safe, and sound, and you are left
sore and sorry! I'd like to know now which is the madder, he who is
so because he cannot help it, or he who is so of his own choice?"
To which SAMSON replied, "The difference between the two sorts of
madmen is, that he who is so will he nil he, will be one always,
while he who is so of his own accord can leave off being one
whenEVER he likes.">>

"The reminiscences of Lady Dorothy Nevill :
edited by her son Ralph Nevill" (1906)
.
A great authority on musical instruments, he was
especially learned about bells, and knew all about
the manner in which they were cast. I wished to have
a bell set up at the entrance to my garden in the
country, and he gave me the address of an excellent
BELL-founder at Louvain — SEVERin Van Aerschoots,
I think the name was. Mr. Haweis composed
a motto to be inscribed on this BELL, which ran :
.
__ *NEVILE VELIS* — as I swing,
__ *NE VELIS VILE* — so I sing.
.
Welcome to all, nor wish them ill,
__ My Lady Dorothy Nevill'
.
This bell, of excellent sound and tone, was duly
cast by the fondeur des cloches whom I have men-
tioned, and became an object of great interest
in my Sussex garden.
.
Besides this, Mr. Haweis also designed a *SUNDIAL*
for me, but this I nEVER had made. The lines he
wrote were very appropriate and original, and as
they have nEVER been utilized for the purpose for
which they were written, I give them here, in
the hope that someone who desires an inscription
for a *SUNDIAL* may carry out the original idea.
.
At the four corners of the dial without the
circle the following lines were to be inscribed,
a line in each corner :
.
. 'Look you upon my face without the *SUN* ,
. I shall not mark the course that he has run ;
. So let the dark days unrecorded be,
. But number EVERy glowing hour like me.'
.
Mr. Haweis nEVER recovered his wife's death,
which, I think, really broke his heart, for
he did not survive that sad event very long,
dying quite suddenly one *SUNday*.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Neville_%28politician%29
<<Sir Henry Neville (1564 – 10 July 1615) was an English courtier,
politician & diplomat, noted for his role as ambassador to France
and his unsuccessful attempts to negotiate between James I of
England and the Houses of Parliament. In 2005, he was put
forward as a candidate for the authorship of Shakespeare's works.
Neville was the first born child of Sir Henry Neville Senior (d. 1593)
and his wife, Elizabeth, daughter of John Gresham of Fulham in
Middlesex. His father was the great-great-grandson of Ralph Neville,
1st Earl of Westmorland and Joan Beaufort, Countess of Westmoreland.
Joan was daughter of John of Gaunt, 1st Duke of Lancaster
and Katherine Swynford.
Henry grew up at Billingbear House at Waltham St Lawrence in
Berkshire, was educated at Merton College, Oxford and sat in
Parliament as the member for New Windsor (1584, 1586 and 1593),
Sussex (1589), Liskeard (1597) and Berkshire (1604, 1614).
He served as High Sheriff of Berkshire in 1595. Before his
father's death, he lived at the old Archbishop's Palace at
Mayfield in Sussex where he ran a highly successful cannon
manufactury. He was apppointed Deputy Lieutenant of
Berkshire in 1596 and moved to Billingbear the next year.
In 1599, Neville was appointed Ambassador to France and attended the
Court of Henri IV. Although knighted for his services in France, he
was unhappy with the way he was treated by the French and in 1600,
complaining of deafness, he asked to be recalled to England.
After his return he became involved with the Essex Rebellion of
1601 and was imprisoned in the Tower of London. He was stripped
of his position and fined £5,000, which he agreed to pay in annual
instalments of £1,000. After the death of Elizabeth I of England and
the accession of James I a Royal Warrant was issued for his release.
After his release, he played a greater role in the political life of
the nation, but earned the antagonism of King James by advocating the
King surrender to the demands of the House of Commons. It was this
action that, on the death of Robert Cecil, 1st Earl of Salisbury,
lost him the possibility of becoming the Secretary of State. Although
offered the position of Treasurer of the Chamber he turned it down.
Neville died in 1615 and was buried
at the church of St Lawrence in Waltham St Lawrence.
In The Truth Will Out, published in 2005, authors Brenda James,
lecturer at the University of Portsmouth, and William Rubinstein,
professor of history at Aberystwyth University, propose that Neville,
who was a distant relative by marriage of Shakespeare's mother,
is the actual author of Shakespeare's works. According to James
and Rubinstein, Neville's career placed him in the locations
of many of the plays about the time they were written,
and his life contains parallels with the events in the plays.
Neville married Anne Killigrew (daughter of Sir Henry Killigrew
and Catherine Cooke) and they had five sons and six daughters.>>

WHo now calls on thee, Nevil, is a Muse,
That *sERVEs nor FAME* , nor Titles; but doth chuse
Where Virtue makes them both, and that's in thee:
Where all is fair, beside thy Pedigree.
Thou art not one, seek'st miseries with hope,
Wrestlest with dignities, or fain'st a scope
Of service to the Publick, when the end
Is private gain, which hath long guilt to Friend.
Thou rather striv'st the matter to possess,
And elements of honour, than the dress;
To make thy lent Life, good *against the FATES* :
And first to know thine own state, then the States.
To be the same in root, thou art in height;
And that thy Soul should give thy *FLESH* her weight.
Go on, and doubt not, what Posterity,
Now I have sung the thus, shall judg of thee.
Thy Deeds, unto thy Name, will prove new Wombs,
Whil'st others toil for Titles to their Tombs.

The Name of Pompey for an Enem[Y],
Cato's to boot, Rome, and her Libe[R]ty,
All yielding to his Fortune, [N]or, the while,
To have engrav'd th[E]se Acts, with his own stile,
And t[H]at so strong and deep, as't might be thought,
He wrote, with the same Spirit that he fought,
Nor that his work liv'd in the hands of Foes,
Unargued then, and yet hath Fame from those;
Not all these, Edmonds, or what else put too,
Can so speak Cæsar, as thy Labours do.

_Henry Neville and The SHAKEspeare Code_
Review by P. G. Taylor (Sutton Courtenay, England)
http://www.scripophily.net/cornevisbrid.html
.
<<The code referred to here is in the 144 letter
dedication to the first edition of SHAKEspeare's sonnets:

.
It took Brenda James years to figure it out!
.
Henry Neville's own nickname was Falstaff - and he himself was fat!
The first time Falstaff ever appeared in a play by SHAKEspeare he
was called "Oldcastle", a pun on Ne Ville - New Town. Neville spent
nearly 3 years in the Tower of London with Southampton, to whom
the sonnets are dedicated Southampton is the Mr W.H. in the
dedication. He is called Mr, because he lost the title
of Earl when he was put in the Tower.>>

tricke of thine eye, and a foolish hanging of thy neather
lippe, that dooth warrant me. If then thou bee sonne to mee,
heere lies the poynt, why beeing sonne to me, art thou
so pointed at? shal the blessed sunne of heauen proue a mi-
cher, and eat black-berries? a question not to be askt. Shall the
sonne of England proue a theefe, and take purses? a question to
be askt. There is a thing Harry, which thou hast often heard of,
and it is knowne to many in our land by the name of pitch. This
pitch (as ancient writers do report) doth defile, so doth the com-
panie thou keepest: for Harrie now, I do not speake to thee in
drinke, but in teares; not in pleasure but in passion: not in
words onely, but in woes also: and yet there is a vertuous man,
whom I haue often noted in thy companie, but I know not his name.

<<*NE VILE Velis* was originally the personal motto of [Thomas
Neville],
who lived from 1544 to 1614 - a man who was held in affection and
trust by his fellow countrymen as a person of culture, integrity
and good taste. He achieved status as Master of Trinity College
Cambridge and subsequently as Dean of Canterbury Cathedral. Such was
the trust and regard in which Neville was held that he was chosen by
the Archbishop of Canterbury for the important function of bearing the
united greetings of the clergy of England to King James in Scotland
on his accession to the throne. When King James visited him at
Cambridge in 1614, he stated that he was "proud of such a subject".
A contemporary at Cambridge said of him: "he never had his
like for a splendid, courteous and bountiful gentleman".
With the motto *NE VILE Velis* ("nothing distasteful or vulgar")
Neville was able to embody his personal philosophy in a phrase
that incorporated his own name (which he spelt *NE VILE*).
Alan Webb, proprietor of Oriental Rugs of Bath comments:
"Thomas Neville created a model for the qualities of good taste
and standards of conduct that are singularly worth perpetuating.
Although the passage of time has made him less widely known,
I feel that his personal qualities make him worthy of emulation".>>

Falstaff was the satirical name applied to William Brooke and
his son Henry, the [7th & 8th] Lords Cobham, by their political
enemies; as it was William’s taking of offense over the
Oldcastle name being used as comic relief that was the
reason that Oldcastle had to be changed to Falstaff.
A “miller’s thumb” is a small freshwater fish also known as a cob.
Nashe calls Henry, “the silliest miller’s thombe” in Lenten Stuffe.
Elizabeth is therefore relating to her husband that Henry Lord
Cobham has secretly had an illegitimate child by Margaret Radcliffe.
----------------------------------------------------------------
In 1598, a letter from the earl of Essex to Robert Cecil then
on a diplomatic mission in France contains the postscript:
"I pray you commend me allso to Alex. Ratcliff and tell
him for newes his sister is maryed to Sr Jo. Falstaff."
The reference to the sister of "Alex. Ratcliff" is to Margaret
Radcliffe. Elizabeth's maid of honor, who was courted in vain
by [Henry Brooke Cobham, 8th Lord Cobham and Lord Chamberlain].

<<A postscript to a letter written by Elizabeth Vernon,
now Lady Southampton, on 8th July 1599, to her husband,
who was in Ireland with Essex. She writes from Chartley:
............................................................
“Al the nues I can send you that I thinke will make you mery is that
I reade in a letter from London that *Sir John Falstaf* is by his
Mrs Dame *Pintpot* made father of a godly millers thum a boye
thats all heade and very litel body: but this is a secrit.”
............................................................
Here we have record that Shakespeare’s patron, and his patron’s
wife, knew that Falstaff had a living prototype who was
numbered among their acquaintances. That the birth of this
child was not in wedlock is suggested by the concluding
words of the Countess’s letter “but this is a secret.”>>

{T}homas {NEVILE} (1544 – 10 July 1614)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Neville_%28scholar%29
..............................................................
<<Alexander Neville (1544–1614) was an English scholar, known as
a historian and translator. He was brother of Thomas Neville,
dean of Canterbury, and son of Richard Neville of South Leverton,
Nottinghamshire, by Anne, daughter of Sir Walter Mantell of
Heyford, Northamptonshire. His mother's sister Margaret
was mother of Barnabe Googe. (Neville contributed English
verses to Barnabe Googe's Eglogs and Sonettes, 1563.)
Alexander was educated at the University of Cambridge, where he
graduated M.A. in 1581, at the same time as Robert Devereux, 2nd Earl
of Essex. On leaving the university he seems to have studied law in
London, where he became acquainted with George Gascoigne. He is one of
the five friends whom Gascoigne describes as challenging him to write
poems on Latin mottoes proposed by themselves. Neville soon entered
the service of Archbishop Matthew Parker apparently as a secretary,
and edited for him Tabula Heptarchiae Saxonicae.
He attended Parker's funeral on 6 June 1575, and wrote an elegy in
Latin heroics. He remained in the service of Parker's successors,
Edmund Grindal and John Whitgift. Possibly he is identical with the
Alexander Neville who sat in parliament as M.P. for Christchurch,
Hampshire, in 1585, and for Saltash in 1601. He died on 4 October
1614, and was buried on 9 October in Canterbury Cathedral, where the
dean erected a monument to commemorate both his brother and himself.
He married Jane, daughter of Richard Buncombe of Morton,
Buckinghamshire, and widow of Sir Gilbert Dethick, but left no issue.
His major work was an account in Latin of Kett's rebellion of 1549,
to which he appended a description of Norwich and its antiquities.
The work, which was undertaken under Parker's guidance, was entitled
A. Nevylii...de Furoribus Norfolcensium Ketto Duce. Eiusdem Norvicus,
London (by Henry Binneman), 1575. A list of the mayors and sheriffs
of Norwich was added. The dedication was addressed to Parker, and
Thomas Drant prefixed verses. A passage in it spoke of the laziness
of the Welsh levies who had taken part in the suppression of Kett's
rebellion, and compared the Welsh soldiers to sheep. Offence was taken
by the government at this sneer, and a new edition was at once issued
with the offensive sentences omitted and an additional dedication to
Archbishop Grindal, the successor of Parker. Neville also published
in 1576 'A. Nevylii ad Walliae proceres apologia' (London, by Henry
Binneman), in which he acknowledged his error of judgment. The account
of Kett was appended under the title 'Kettus' to Christopher Ocland's
Anglorum Praelia, 1582, and in 1615 an English translation by the Rev.
Richard Woods of Norwich appeared with the title Norfolk Furies their
Foyle under Kett and their Accursed Captaine: with a description
of the famous Citye of Norwich; another edition is dated 1623.
Neville was also a writer of Latin verse and prose. His earliest
publication was a translation of Seneca's Oedipus, into a rough ballad
metre in 1560, and dedicated to Henry Wotton. Thomas Newton included
it in his 'Seneca his Tenne Tragedies, London, 1581. In 1587 appeared
Neville's Academiae Cantabrigiensis lacrymse tumulo ... P. Sidneij
sacratae per A. Nevillum, Cambridge, 1587, with a dedication to
the Earl of Leicester. Sir John Harington commended this poem
in his annotations on Ariosto's Orlando Furioso (bk. 37).>>

<<and Sancho, examining him more and more closely, exclaimed
. aloud in a voice of amazement, "Holy Mary be good to me!
.
. Isn't it TOM CECIL, my neighbour and gossip?"
.
"Why, to be sure I am!" returned the now unnosed squire;
. "TOM CECIL I am, gossip and friend Sancho Panza;
and I'll tell you presently the means & tricks & falsehoods
. by which I have been brought here;
. but in the meantime, beg and entreat of your master
. not to touch, maltreat, wound, or slay
. the Knight of the Mirrors whom he has at his feet;>>
-----------------------------------------------------------------
<<TOM CECIL, seeing how ill they had succeeded, and what a sorry
end their expedition had come to, said to the bachelor, "Sure
enough, Senor SAMSON Carrasco, we are served right; it is easy
enough to plan and set about an enterprise, but it is often a
difficult matter to come well out of it. Don Quixote a madman, and
we sane; he goes off laughing, safe, and sound, and you are left
sore and sorry! I'd like to know now which is the madder, he who is
so because he cannot help it, or he who is so of his own choice?"
To which SAMSON replied, "The difference between the two sorts of
madmen is, that he who is so will he nil he, will be one always,
while he who is so of his own accord can leave off being one
whenEVER he likes.">>

"And dost thou, then, believe, Sancho," said Don Quixote,
"that the Knight of the Mirrors was the bachelor

"The reminiscences of Lady Dorothy Nevill :
edited by her son Ralph Nevill" (1906)
.
A great authority on musical instruments, he was
especially learned about bells, and knew all about
the manner in which they were cast. I wished to have
a bell set up at the entrance to my garden in the
country, and he gave me the address of an excellent
BELL-founder at Louvain — SEVERin Van Aerschoots,
I think the name was. Mr. Haweis composed
a motto to be inscribed on this BELL, which ran :
.
__ *NEVILE VELIS* — as I swing,
__ *NE VELIS VILE* — so I sing.
.
Welcome to all, nor wish them ill,
__ My Lady Dorothy Nevill'
.
This bell, of excellent sound and tone, was duly
cast by the fondeur des cloches whom I have men-
tioned, and became an object of great interest
in my Sussex garden.
.
Besides this, Mr. Haweis also designed a *SUNDIAL*
for me, but this I nEVER had made. The lines he
wrote were very appropriate and original, and as
they have nEVER been utilized for the purpose for
which they were written, I give them here, in
the hope that someone who desires an inscription
for a *SUNDIAL* may carry out the original idea.
.
At the four corners of the dial without the
circle the following lines were to be inscribed,
a line in each corner :
.
. 'Look you upon my face without the *SUN* ,
. I shall not mark the course that he has run ;
. So let the dark days unrecorded be,
. But number EVERy glowing hour like me.'
.
Mr. Haweis nEVER recovered his wife's death,
which, I think, really broke his heart, for
he did not survive that sad event very long,
dying quite suddenly one *SUNday*.
