H I A 
wrote feveral" plays; 500 epigrams; A Dialogue in 
Verfe concerning English Proverbs; and The Spider 
and Fly, a Parable, in 4to. He left two Tons, who both 
became Jefuits, and eminent men : viz. Ellis Heywood, 
who lived fome time at Florence under the patronage of 
cardinal Pole, and became fo good a mailer of the Ita¬ 
lian tongue, as to write a treatife in that language, en¬ 
titled 11 More ; he died at Louvain about the year 1572. 
His other fon was Jafper Heywood, who refided at Ox¬ 
ford : he tranftated three tragediesof Seneca, and wrote 
various poems and devifes ; fome of which were printed 
in a volume entitled The Paradife of Dainty Devifes, 
4 t0 - 1573- He died at Naples in 1597. 
HEY'WOOD (Eliza), a celebrated novel-writer, born 
about the year 1696. In the early part of her life, her 
pen, whether to gratify her .own difpofition, or the pre¬ 
vailing tafte, dealt chiefly in licentious tales, romances, 
-and memoirs. The celebrated Atalantis of Mrs. Man- 
ley ferved her for a model. She alfo attempted dra¬ 
matic writing and performance, but did not fucceed in 
either. Whatever it was that provoked the refentment 
of Pope, he gave full fcope to it by diftinguithing her 
as one of the prizes to be gained in the games introduced 
in honour of Dullnefs, in his Dunciad. Neverthelefs, 
it feems undeniable that there is much fpirit and inge¬ 
nuity in her manner of treating fubjedts, which the 
friends of virtue may perhaps wilh Ihe had never med¬ 
dled with at all. But, whatever offence Ihe may have 
given to delicacy or morality in her early works, Ihe 
appears to have been convinced of, and endeavoured 
to atone for, in the latter part of her life ; as no author 
then appeared a greater advocate for virtue. Among 
her riper productions may be fpecified, r. The Female 
Spectator, 4 vols. 2. Betfy Thoughtlefs, 4 vols. 3. 
Jemmy and Jenny Jelfamy, 3 vols. 4. The Invifible 
Spy, 4 vols. Sip; died in 1759.
