His next publication was the second part of Bri tannia's Pastorals, ' a work that established his repu tation, and increased the number of his literary and noble friends. With what success he studied the law does not appear, as he is never spoken of by his contemporaries in the character of a lawyer; and by his attention having been so much directed to the poetical works he sent abroad, it is most likely he did not follow his profession with much zeal, and therefore with little success. Certain it is that neither law nor poetry were very profitable to him in a worldly sense, as his fortune was far from ample; and he finally abandoned the Inner Temple and returned to Exeter College, Oxford, as tutor to Robert Dormer, the young Earl of Carnarvon; a nobleman whose name is enrolled among the most gallant and amiable of the cavaliers who fell in the cause of their injured king.
