The exquisite letters of Mr. Robert Loveday, the late admired Translater of the volumes of the famed Romance Cleopatra, for the perpetrating of his memory, publisht by his dear brother Mr. A.L. 19.

But one step, and that a short one, removed from these writers is Alexander Barclay, translater of Brandt's Stultifera Navis, priest and monk successively of Ottery St. Mary, Ely, and Canterbury.

To the same or the following year belong the twelve eclogues by Edward Fairfax, the translater of Tasso's Gerusalemme, which are now for the most part lost.

Evidence that it was Greville who was responsible for the publication of the Arcadia is found in the dedication of Thomas Wilson's manuscript translation from the Diana, where, addressing Greville, the translater speaks of Sir Philip's Arcadia, 'w^{ch} by yo^{r} noble vertue the world so hapily enjoyes.'

The name of the translater does not appear, but the heading runs: 'Il pastor fido, di signor Guarini ... recitata in Collegio Regali Cantabrigiae.'

The translater was afterwards knighted.
