<<Oxford was accompanied on his journey to Italy, including Venice, by
the
Englishman Nathaniel Baxter, who recalled the event in a publication
he
entitled Sidneys Ourania, printed in 1606 (STC 1598), two years after
Oxford's death. Although the publication is dedicated to Philip
Sidney's
sister Mary, countess of Pembroke, a poem within the volume (on sig.
A3v) is
dedicated to Oxford's daughter Susan Vere, and assigns her conception
to
Oxford's miraculous rescue from "infamie" (here, Oxford is the
"Prince"
and also the "Albanian dignitie" - or British nobleman). The first
three
stanzas, which are an acrostic on the de Vere motto ("mot" or posy),
are as follows:
To the Right Noble, and Honorable Lady Susan Vera Mongomriana.
[V] [A]liant whilome the Prince that bare this Mot,
[E] [N]graued round about his golden Ring:
[R] [O]aming in VENICE ere thou wast begot,
[A] [M]ong the Gallants of th'Italian spring.
.
[N] Euer omitting what might pastime bring,
[I] Talian sports, and Syrens Melodie:
[H] Opping Helena with her warbling sting,
[I] Nfested th'Albanian dignitie,
[L] Ike as they poysoned all Italie.
.
[V] Igilant then th'eternall majestie
[E] Nthraled soules to free from infamie:
[R] Emembring thy sacred virginitie,
[I] Nduced vs to make speedie repaire,
[V] Nto thy mother euerlasting faire,
[S] O did this Prince begette thee debonaire.

<<ON AN AFTERNOON in September, during the fourth year of Queen
Elizabeth's reign, a young nobleman came riding into London out of
Essex at the head of a procession of seven-score horses caparisoned in
black. So wretched were the country roads that the journey of some
forty miles had required three days. The narrow streets of the city
were ill-paved, tortuous, and dirty; there were no causeways, no
posts: the people were obliged to draw back into doorways for the
horsemen to pass. As the word went round that the twelve-year-old Earl
of Oxford, hereditary Lord Great Chamberlain of England, was riding
through the town, groups at the crossroads swelled, and heads appeared
at upper windows for a sight of this new first earl of the realm, heir
of the ancient and honorable family of de Vere which was second in
eminence only to the Monarch. Grimy hands were waved and greetings
rang out, some to be quickly muted at the signs of mourning, as the
procession moved spiritedly along "through London and Chepe and
Ludgate, and so to Temple Bar.">>

*CAVIL*, v.i.
.
1. To raise captious and frivolous objections; to find fault without
good reason; followed by at.
.
. It is better to reason than to *CAVIL*.
.
2. To advance futile objections, or to frame sophisms, for the sake of
victory in an argument.

REIGNIER: My lord, you do not well in obstinacy

. If once it be neglected, ten to one

HOTSPUR. I do not care: I'll give thrice so much land

. But in the way of bargain, mark ye me,
. I'll *CAVIL* on the ninth part of a hair.

The Rape of Lucrece Stanza 147
'In vain I rail at Opportunity,
At Time, at Tarquin, and uncheerful Night;
In vain I *CAVIL* with mine infamy,
In vain I spurn at my confirm'd despite:
This helpless smoke of words doth me no right.
The remedy indeed to do me good
Is to let FORTH my foul-defiled blood.
.
. Stanza 157
.
Thus *CAVILs* she with every thing she sees:
True grief is fond and testy as a child,
Who wayward once, his mood with nought agrees:
Old woes, not infant sorrows, bear them mild;
Continuance tames the one; the other wild,
Like an unpractised swimmer plunging still,
With too much labour drowns for want of skill.
