Was Heywood a Servant of the Earl of Southampton?
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 December 2020
Extract
In the course of collecting the material for a biography of Thomas Heywood, I came upon a passage which suggests that possibly the Earl of Southampton at one time patronized a theatrical company. The passage occurs in Heywood's A Funeral Elegie, upon the Much Lamented Death of the Trespuissant and unmatchable King, King James (1625):
- Henry, Southampton Earle, a souldier proued;
- Dreaded in warre, and in milde peace beloued.
- Oh giue me leaue to resound
- His memory, as most in dutie bound,
- Because his servant once.
