https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugh_Holland
<<Hugh Holland (1569-1633) was born in Denbigh in the north of Wales. He was educated at Westminster School under *William Camden*, where he excelled in classics, and proceeded in 1589 to Trinity College, Cambridge on a scholarship. On completion of his studies, he travelled abroad, as far as Rome, where unguarded remarks about Queen Elizabeth caused him some trouble, and Jerusalem where he may have been made a Knight of the Holy Sepulchre. On his return journey he received a reprimand from the English ambassador in Constantinople for the 'former freedom of his tongue'.
He failed to secure preferement, but enjoyed the patronage of the Duke of Buckingham, George Villiers who introduced him to King James. He wrote poetry, most notably a collection entitled Cypress Garland (1625), and was buried in Westminster Abbey on 28 July 1633. His memory as a man of letters is associated with the laudatory sonnet he wrote on Shakespeare, which was printed in the First Folio.
Anthony Wood recorded a copy of his epitaph in which Holland described himself as Miserimus peccator, musarum et amicitiarum cultor sanctissimus. (The most miserable of sinners, but a careful cultivator of the muse and friendship).>>

<<CAMDEN, WILLIAM (2 May 1551, London - *9 November 1623*), antiquary and historian, was born in the Old Bailey in London on 2 May 1551. His father was *SAMPSON* Camden who in early life, came up to London to follow the profession of a painter. In 1600 Camden published his account of the monuments, or rather list of the epitaphs, in Westminster Abbey. This book originally grew out of his preparatory labours on the 'Britannia.' Camden's 'Remains,' or commonplace collections from his 'Britannia,' 'the rude rubble and outcast rubbish of a greater and more serious work,' as he styles it was brought out in 1605, with a dedication to Sir Robert Cotton, signed only with the letters M. N., the last letters of Camden's two names. He had originally intended to dedicate it to Sir Fulke Greville. Camden left his books to his former pupil and friend, Sir Robert Cotton. His circle of friends and acquaintances included Lord Burghley, Fulke Greville, Philip Sidney, Edmund Spenser, John Stow, John Dee, Jacques de Thou and Ben Jonson, who was Camden's student at Westminster and who dedicated an early edition of Every Man in His Humour to him.>>

<<Whenever a town was founded a round hole would first be dug.
In the bottom of it a stone, LAPIS manalis, which represented a gate
to the Underworld, would then be embedded. On the *August 23rd* ,
October 5th and *the 8th of November*
this stone would be removed to permit the Manes to pass through.
The object of the cult rendered to them was to appease their anger.
Originally they were offered blood sacrifices, and it is probable
that the first gladiatorial combats were instituted in their honour.
Like the Greeks the Latins placed the Infernal Regions in
the centre of the earth. It could be reached by various openings
- caves, lakes , marshes. One of the most celebrated of
these was Lake Avernus in Campania, a grim and deserted spot
in the neighbourhood of Pozzuoli. The hills which surrounded
it were formerly covered with woods sacred to Hecate
(luci aVERNI) and pitted with cavities through which,
according to Cicero, one called forth the souls of the dead.
Near aVERNUS the cave called the Cave of the Cumaean Sibyl
can still be seen.>> -- Larousse Encyclopedia of Mythology

Biography of Sir [E]dward [DYER]
http://www.poemhunter.com/sir-edward-dyer/biography/
.
<<Author of two of the most famous Elizabethan lyrics,
'My Mind to Me a Kingdom is' and 'The Lowest Trees have Tops',
Dyer cut a figure of some significance at Elizabeth's Court
and became Chancellor of the Order of the Garter.
.
Philip Sidney and he were companions in everything (he was
'Coridens' [Cosn Dier] in Sidney's verse) & with Fulke Greville
Dyer was bequeathed Sidney's books. He wrote an elegy lamenting
Sidney's death. His other friends included Robert Earl of Essex,
Gilbert Talbot Earl of Shrewsbury, Walter Ralegh, Robert Cecil,
Thomas Sackville Lord Buckhurst, Sir Christopher Hatton,
the Countess of Pembroke and John Dee.
.
An alchemist himself, it was on the basis of Dyer's reports of the
success of Edward Kelley, Dee's scryer, that influenced Elizabeth
and Burghley to take Kelley's claims seriously. Dyer worked with
Kelley in his laboratory in Bohemia for about 6 months in 1590.
.
His contemporaries praised his skill as a poet: '...in a *MANNER*
oure onlye Inglish poett...' and his 'written devises farr
excell most of the sonets, and cantos in print' (Gabriel Harvey);
Nashe stated that Dyer was the first 'that repurified Poetrie
from Arts pedantisime, and that instructed it to speake courtly'.
He was buried at St Saviour's, Southwark, May 11, 1607.>>-

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_Sidney#Injury_and_death
<<[Sir Philip Sidney (30 November 1554 - 17 October 1586)]
joined Sir John Norris in the Battle of Zutphen, fighting for
the Protestant cause against the Spanish. During the battle,
he was shot in the thigh and died of gangrene *26* days later.
According to the story, while lying wounded he gave his water
to another wounded soldier, saying, "Thy necessity is yet
greater than mine". As he lay dying, Sidney composed a song
to be sung by his deathbed.
Sidney's body was returned to London and interred in the Old
St. Paul's Cathedral on 16 February 1587. [Sidney] had become
for many English people the very epitome of a Castiglione
courtier: learned and politic, but at the same time generous,
brave, and impulsive. The funeral procession was one of the
most elaborate ever staged, so much so that his father-in-law,
Francis Walsingham, almost went bankrupt. Never more than a
marginal figure in the politics of his time, he was memorialised
as the flower of English manhood in Edmund Spenser's Astrophel,
one of the greatest English Renaissance elegies. An early
biography of Sidney was written by his friend and
schoolfellow, Fulke Greville.>>

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugh_Holland
<<Hugh Holland (1569-1633) was born in Denbigh in the north of Wales. He was educated at Westminster School under *William Camden*, where he excelled in classics, and proceeded in 1589 to Trinity College, Cambridge on a scholarship. On completion of his studies, he travelled abroad, as far as Rome, where unguarded remarks about Queen Elizabeth caused him some trouble, and Jerusalem where he may have been made a Knight of the Holy Sepulchre. On his return journey he received a reprimand from the English ambassador in Constantinople for the 'former freedom of his tongue'.
He failed to secure preferement, but enjoyed the patronage of the Duke of Buckingham, George Villiers who introduced him to King James. He wrote poetry, most notably a collection entitled Cypress Garland (1625), and was buried in Westminster Abbey on 28 July 1633. His memory as a man of letters is associated with the laudatory sonnet he wrote on Shakespeare, which was printed in the First Folio.
Anthony Wood recorded a copy of his epitaph in which Holland described himself as Miserimus peccator, musarum et amicitiarum cultor sanctissimus. (The most miserable of sinners, but a careful cultivator of the muse and friendship).>>

<<CAMDEN, WILLIAM (2 May 1551, London - *9 November 1623*), antiquary and historian, was born in the Old Bailey in London on 2 May 1551. His father was *SAMPSON* Camden who in early life, came up to London to follow the profession of a painter. In 1600 Camden published his account of the monuments, or rather list of the epitaphs, in Westminster Abbey. This book originally grew out of his preparatory labours on the 'Britannia.' Camden's 'Remains,' or commonplace collections from his 'Britannia,' 'the rude rubble and outcast rubbish of a greater and more serious work,' as he styles it was brought out in 1605, with a dedication to Sir Robert Cotton, signed only with the letters M. N., the last letters of Camden's two names. He had originally intended to dedicate it to Sir Fulke Greville. Camden left his books to his former pupil and friend, Sir Robert Cotton. His circle of friends and acquaintances included Lord Burghley, Fulke Greville, Philip Sidney, Edmund Spenser, John Stow, John Dee, Jacques de Thou and Ben Jonson, who was Camden's student at Westminster and who dedicated an early edition of Every Man in His Humour to him.>>

<<Whenever a town was founded a round hole would first be dug.
In the bottom of it a stone, LAPIS manalis, which represented a gate
to the Underworld, would then be embedded. On the *August 23rd* ,
October 5th and *the 8th of November*
this stone would be removed to permit the Manes to pass through.
The object of the cult rendered to them was to appease their anger.
Originally they were offered blood sacrifices, and it is probable
that the first gladiatorial combats were instituted in their honour.
Like the Greeks the Latins placed the Infernal Regions in
the centre of the earth. It could be reached by various openings
- caves, lakes , marshes. One of the most celebrated of
these was Lake Avernus in Campania, a grim and deserted spot
in the neighbourhood of Pozzuoli. The hills which surrounded
it were formerly covered with woods sacred to Hecate
(luci aVERNI) and pitted with cavities through which,
according to Cicero, one called forth the souls of the dead.
Near aVERNUS the cave called the Cave of the Cumaean Sibyl
can still be seen.>> -- Larousse Encyclopedia of Mythology

Biography of Sir [E]dward [DYER]
http://www.poemhunter.com/sir-edward-dyer/biography/
.
<<Author of two of the most famous Elizabethan lyrics,
'My Mind to Me a Kingdom is' and 'The Lowest Trees have Tops',
Dyer cut a figure of some significance at Elizabeth's Court
and became Chancellor of the Order of the Garter.
.
Philip Sidney and he were companions in everything (he was
'Coridens' [Cosn Dier] in Sidney's verse) & with Fulke Greville
Dyer was bequeathed Sidney's books. He wrote an elegy lamenting
Sidney's death. His other friends included Robert Earl of Essex,
Gilbert Talbot Earl of Shrewsbury, Walter Ralegh, Robert Cecil,
Thomas Sackville Lord Buckhurst, Sir Christopher Hatton,
the Countess of Pembroke and John Dee.
.
An alchemist himself, it was on the basis of Dyer's reports of the
success of Edward Kelley, Dee's scryer, that influenced Elizabeth
and Burghley to take Kelley's claims seriously. Dyer worked with
Kelley in his laboratory in Bohemia for about 6 months in 1590.
.
His contemporaries praised his skill as a poet: '...in a *MANNER*
oure onlye Inglish poett...' and his 'written devises farr
excell most of the sonets, and cantos in print' (Gabriel Harvey);
Nashe stated that Dyer was the first 'that repurified Poetrie
from Arts pedantisime, and that instructed it to speake courtly'.
He was buried at St Saviour's, Southwark, May 11, 1607.>>-

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_Sidney#Injury_and_death
<<[Sir Philip Sidney (30 November 1554 - 17 October 1586)]
joined Sir John Norris in the Battle of Zutphen, fighting for
the Protestant cause against the Spanish. During the battle,
he was shot in the thigh and died of gangrene *26* days later.
According to the story, while lying wounded he gave his water
to another wounded soldier, saying, "Thy necessity is yet
greater than mine". As he lay dying, Sidney composed a song
to be sung by his deathbed.
Sidney's body was returned to London and interred in the Old
St. Paul's Cathedral on 16 February 1587. [Sidney] had become
for many English people the very epitome of a Castiglione
courtier: learned and politic, but at the same time generous,
brave, and impulsive. The funeral procession was one of the
most elaborate ever staged, so much so that his father-in-law,
Francis Walsingham, almost went bankrupt. Never more than a
marginal figure in the politics of his time, he was memorialised
as the flower of English manhood in Edmund Spenser's Astrophel,
one of the greatest English Renaissance elegies. An early
biography of Sidney was written by his friend and
schoolfellow, Fulke Greville.>>

<<Aubrey says of Lady [MARY S]idney: "She was VERy salacious,
and she had a Contrivance that in the Spring of the yeare,
when the *STALLIONS* were to leape the Mares, they were to
be brought before such a part of the house, where she had a
vidette (a hole *to peepe* out at) to looke on them and please
herselfe with their Sport; and then she would act the like
sport herselfe with her *STALLIONS* . One of her great
Gallants was *CROOKE-BACK't Cecill* , Earl of Salisbury.">>

sweetely composed Poems, of Master William Shakespeare, Which

then living avouched ; they had not the fortune by reason of
their Infancie in his death to have the due accomodatio of
proportionable glory with the rest of his *EVER-living*
Workes, yet the lines of themselves WILL afFORD you a more
authentick approbation than my assurance any way can, to invite
your allowance, in your perusall you shall find them Seren, cleere
and eligantly plaine, such gentle straines as shall recreate and
not perplexe your braine, no intricate or cloudy stuffe to puzzell
intellect, but perfect eloquence ; such as will raise your
admiration to his praise: this assurance I know will not differ from
your acknowledgment. And certaine I am, my opinion will be seconded
by the sufficiency of these ensuing lines ; I have beene somewhat
solicitus to bring this forth to the perfect view of all men ;
and in so doing glad to be serviceable for the continuance
of glory to the *DEsERVEd Author* in these his Poems.
