 ;The Humble Petition of the Gentry�察�Ministers�察�and Commonalty�察�for the county of Kent�察�agreed upon at the General Assizes for that county。; See JOURNALS OF THE HOUSE OF LORDS�察�iv。 675´6´7。  The ;framers and contrivers; of this petition were Sir Edward Dering�察�Bart。�察�of Surrenden´Dering�察�Sir Roger Twysden�察�the well´known scholar�察�Sir George Strode�察�and Mr。 Richard Spencer。  On the 21st May�察�1641�察�Dering had unsuccessfully attempted to bring in a bill for the ABOLITION of church government by bishops�察�archbishops�察�&c。�察�whereas one of the articles of the petition of 1642 ��usually known as DERING'S PETITION�� was a prayer for the restoration of the Liturgy and the maintenance of the episcopal bench in its integrity。  A numerously signed petition had also been addressed to both Houses by the county in 1641�察�in which the strongest reasons were given for the adoption of Dering's proposed act。  From 1641 to 1648�察�indeed�察�the Houses were overwhelmed by Kentish petitions of various kinds。  This portion of Wood's narrative is confirmed by Marvell's lines prefixed to LUCASTA�察�1649��

 By an inadvertence�察�I have spoken of THOMAS�察�instead of WILLIAM�察�Lovelace having perished at Caermarthen�察�in a note at p。 125。 

 It appears from the following copy of verses�察�printed in Tatham's OSTELLA�察�1650�察�4to。�察�that Lovelace made a stay in the Netherlands about this time�察�if indeed he did not serve there with his regiment。

  UPON MY NOBLE FRIEND RICHARD LOVELACE�察�ESQ。�察�HIS           BEING IN HOLLAND。 AN INVITATION。

     Come�察�Adonis�察�come again�察       �What distaste could drive thee hence�察     �Where so much delight did reign�察       �Sateing ev'n the soul of sense�拭     �And though thou unkind hast prov'd�察     �Never youth was more belov'd。        Then�察�lov'd Adonis�察�come away�察       �For Venus brooks not thy delay。

     Wert thou sated with the spoil        Of so many virgin hearts�察     �And therefore didst change thy soil�察       �To seek fresh in other parts�拭     �Dangers wait on foreign game�察     �We have deer more sound and tame。        Then�察�lov'd Adonis�察�come away�察       �For Venus brooks not thy delay。

     Phillis�察�fed with thy delights�察       �In thy absence pines away�察     �And love�察�too�察�hath lost his rites�察       �Not one lass keeps holiday。      They have changed their mirth for cares�察     �And do onely sigh thy airs。        Then�察�lov'd Adonis�察�come away�察       �For Venus brooks not thy delay。

     Elpine�察�in whose sager looks        Thou wert wont to take delight�察     �Hath forsook his drink and books�察       �'Cause he can't enjoy thy sight�此     �He hath laid his learning by�察     �'Cause his wit wants company。        Then�察�lov'd Adonis�察�come away�察       �For friendship brooks not thy delay。

     All the swains that once did use        To converse with Love and thee�察     �In the language of thy Muse�察       �Have forgot Love's deity�此     �They deny to write a line�察     �And do only talk of thine。        Then�察�lov'd Adonis�察�come away�察       �For friendship brooks not thy delay。

     By thy sweet Althea's voice�察       �We conjure thee to return�察     �Or we'll rob thee of that choice�察       �In whose flames each heart would burn�此     �That inspir'd by her and sack�察     �Such company we will not lack�此       �That poets in the age to come�察      �Shall write of our Elisium。

 Peter�察�or rather PETRE House�察�in Aldersgate Street�察�belonged at one time to the antient family by whose name it was known。  The third Lord Petre�察�dying in 1638�察�left it�察�with other possessions in and about the city of London�察�to his son William。 ��Collins's PEERAGE�察�by Brydges�察�vii。 10�察�11。��  When Lovelace was committed to Peter House�察�and probably long before ��MERCURIUS RUSTICUS�察�ed。 1685�察�pp。 76´79���察�this mansion was used as a house of detention for political prisoners�察�but in Ward's DIARY ��ed。 Severn�察�p。 167���察�there is the following entry ��like almost all Ward's entries�察�unluckily without date���此�My Lord Peters is an Essex man�察�hee hath a house in Aldersgate Street�察�wherein lives the Marquis of Dorchester�此─�implying that at that period ��perhaps about 1660���察�the premises still belonged to the Petre family�察�though temporarily let to Lord Dorchester。  Another celebrated house in the same street was London House�察�which continued for some time to be the town residence of the Bishops of London。  When it had ceased to be an episcopal abode�察�it was adapted to the purposes of an ordinary dwelling�察�and�察�among the occupants�察�at a somewhat later period�察�was Tom Rawlinson�察�the great book´collector。  See Stow�察�ed。 1720�察�ii。 lib。 iii。 p。 121。

 How different was the conduct�察�under similar circumstances�察�of the lady whom Charles Gerbier commemorates in his ELOGIUM HEROINUM�察�1651�察�p。 127。 ;Democion�察�the Athenian virgin�察─�he tells us�察 �hearing that Leosthenes�察�to whom she was contracted�察�was slain in the wars�察�she killed herself�察�but before her death she thus reasoned with herself�此�'Although my body is untoucht�察�yet should I fall into the imbraces of another�察�I should but deceive the second�察�since I am still married to the former in my heart。';

 Wood's story about LUCASTA having been a Lucy Sacheverell�察 �a lady of great beauty and fortune�察─�may reasonably be doubted。 Lucasta�察�whoever she was�察�seems to have belonged to Kent�察�the SACHEVERELLS were not a Kentish family。  Besides�察�the corruption of Lucy Sacheverell into Lucasta is not very obvious�察�and rather violent�察�and the probability is that the author of the ATHENAE was misled by his informant on this occasion。 The plate etched by Lely and engraved by Faithorne�察�which is found in the second part of LUCASTA�察�1659�察�can scarcely be regarded as a portrait�察�it was�察�in all likelihood�察�a mere fancy sketch�察�and we are not perhaps far from the truth in our surmise that the artist was nearly�察�if not quite�察�as much in the dark as to who Lucasta was�察�as we are ourselves at the present day。

 This is a mistake on the part of Wood�察�which ��with many others�� ought to be corrected in a new edition of the ATHENAE。 Lawes did not set to music AMARANTHA�察�A PASTORAL�察�nor any portion of it�察�but he harmonized two stanzas of a little poem to be found at p。 29 of the present volume�察�and called ;To Amarantha�察�that she would dishevel her Hair。;

 Hasted states that soon after the death of Charles I。 the manor of Lovelace´Bethersden passed by purchase to Richard Hulse�察�Esq。

 On the title´page of this portion of LUCASTA�察�as well as on that which had appeared in 1649�察�the author is expressly styled RICHARD LOVELACE�察�ESQ。�此�yet in Berry's KENT GENEALOGIES�察�p。 474�察�he is�察�curiously enough�察�called SIR Richard Lovelace�察�KNT。  It is scarcely necessary to observe that the error is on Berry's side。

 The most pleasing likeness of Lovelace�察�the only one�察�indeed�察�which conveys any just idea to us of the ;handsomest man of his time�察─�is the picture at Dulwich�察�which has been twice copied�察�in both instances with very indifferent success。  One of these copies was made for Harding's
