[Reprinted from the original folio-broadside, of which there is no copy in the British Museum. Sir William Davenant, who had succeeded Ben Jonson as Poet Laureate in 1637, died 7 April, 1668, and " was bury'd in Westininster- Abbey, near Mr. Chaucer's monument, our whole Company^ attending his funeral. " " The Cruell Brother " was printed in 1630, " The Witts " and " The Platonick Lovers " in 1636, " Madagascar and other Poems " in 1637, " The Unfortunate Lovers " in 1643, and " The Siege of Rh...odes, " Part I. , in 1656, Part II. , in 1663. In case Davenant should ever be edited, it may be useful to point out that " Gondibert Vindicated " is the work of Edmund Gayton. ] 1 i.
