Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Ancient Biographical Poems, on the Duke of Norfolk, Viscount Hereford, the Earls of Essex, and Queen Elizabeth: From Gough's Norfolk Mss; In the Bodleian Library
All the facts connected with this catastrophe, and with another, of a Similar character, which happened about thirty years afterwards, are well known as matters of history, so that it will not be necessary for us even to touch upon them; but it is fit to say something by way of introduction to the following Poems, recommended to our notice rather by their public than by their literary importance. It is known that ballads, and probably other productions in verse, were published soon after the death of the Duke of Norfolk; but either they have been destroyed by the lapse of time, or they were suppressed by authority of the State, and no such printed Speci mens have descended to our day.
