DIED A. D. 1641. THIS spirited dramatist, and man of fashion of the 17th century, had a court birth as well as breeding ; being the son of Sir John Suckling, who had been secretary of state to Charles's predecessor, and was comptroller of the household to Charles himself, when the subject of this notice was born, in 1C 13, as some of his biographers insist, but more probably in 1608, at Witham, in Middlesex. The accounts which have been given of the extraordinary quickness of his parts, even in... childhood such as that he spoke Latin fluently when five years old are somewhat contradictory ; but still there seems little doubt that his early acquirements in school-learning were very remarkable. They must have been so ; for he does not appear to have pursued his studies later than about the age of seventeen years, and yet he was accomplished in much of the learning of his day. It is also uncertain in what schools he acquired it. Aubrey supposes that his initiation took place at Westminster, and he says Davenant told him that he was at Cambridge for three or four years, having entered that university when only eleven years of age.
