His first published work was a poem that begins by exhorting Hercules to "Fall...from Heaven, in tempests hurl'd and goes on to describe how the speaker's miseries "ever murmur."
His first published work was a poem that begins by exhorting Hercules to "Fall...from Heaven, in tempests hurl'd and goes on to describe how the speaker's miseries "ever murmur." He invoked Botticelli's painting in another poem in the structure of Ficino that describes a garden tryst. In addition to "The Shadow of Night" and "Ovid's Banquet of Sense," he wrote a play in which the protagonist is caught up in the intrigues of Baligny, and the title character's ghost childes his brother Clermont to revenge him. He was thrown in jail after collaborating with John Martson and Ben Jonson on a Scotsman-bashing play about the goldsmith Touchstone. In another play, the Tamyra betrays the Count of Montsurry to have an affair with the title character, a brash courtesan of Henry III. For 10 points, name this British dude who wrote Eastward Ho! and Bussy D'Ambois, and who got his Homer looked into by John Keats.
