He is also mentioned, with more reverence implied, by George Daniel of Beswick; and we may well conclude this second part of our Appendix with the final verses from the Beswick MS. (1636-53); insomuch as many Poets are therein mentioned, to whom we return in Section Fourth:—

The noble Overburies Quill has left [verse 20]

A better Wife then he could ever find:

I will not search too deep, lest I should lift

Dust from the dead: Strange power, of womankind,

To raise and ruine; for all he will claime,

As from that sex; his Birth, his Death, his Fame.

But I spin out too long: let me draw up

My thred, to honour names, of my owne time

Without their Eulogies, for it may stop
