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.
