Life and Works of Henry King. 263 



Part two: PRINTED BOOKS. 



I. ENGLISH POEMS. 



1. "An Elegy Upon the most Incomparable K. Charls the I. 

 Persecuted by two Implacable Factions, Imprisoned by the One, 

 And Murthered by the Other, January 30th 1648. "^ 20 pp.. The 

 poem was subsequently reprinted in small octavo form and bound 

 up with the other additional Elegies in the 1664 re-issue. Lowndes 

 ("Bibl. Manual," i860, 1273) mentions the sale of a copy of this 

 small quarto pamphlet. 



2. ".4 DEEPE GROAXE FETCH' D AT the FUNERALL of 

 that incomparable and Glorious ^Monarch, CHARLES the First, 

 King of Great Britaine, France and Ireland, &c. On whose Sacred 

 Person was acted that execrable, horrid & prodigious Murther, 

 by a trayterous Crew and bloud}^ Combination at Westminster, 

 January the 30. 1648. (Motto). Written by D. H. K. (Device). 

 Printed in the Yeare, M.DC. XL. IX." This poem enjoyed three 

 printings in 1649, the second being ascribed to "I. B." and the third 

 being anonymous. The proof of King's authorship (which Hannah 

 was very reluctant to admit, cxxvii) depends upon Wood's unqualified 

 attribution, upon the numerous contemporaneous MS. ascriptions, 

 and above all upon the internal evidence of style and of parallelism 

 with King's other poems and his Sermons. Several copies of the 

 A'arious editions are preserved in the Bodleian and the British Museum. 



3. "POEMS, ELEGIES, PARADOXES, and SONNETS. Lon- 

 don, Printed by J. G. for Ricfi : Harriot and Hen : Herringman, 

 and sold in St. Dunstans Church-yard Fleet-street, and at the New- 

 Exchange. 1657." 



The other two title pages, substituted when the unsold copies were 

 later re-issued, ^ are as follows : 



"POEMS, ELEGIES, PARADOXES, And SONETS. (Device) 

 London, Printed for Henry Herringman, and are to be sold at the 

 Anchor in the lower-walk in the Neiv Exchange. 1664." 



"Ben Johnson's POEMS, ELEGIES, PARADOXES, AND 

 SONNETS. (Device). London; Printed, and Sold by the Book- 

 sellers of London and Westminster, 1700." 



The devices of the last two and the marginal figured borders of 

 all three, are different ; and to the copies bearing the 1664 title page, 



^ Dates on the title pages, etc., have been preserved in their printed form, 

 when a direct quotation of the original has been given ; otherwise the O. S. 

 reckoning has been modernized, throughout the present work.
