MS Eng. poet. e. 30

A quarto volume of 64 poems by Kenry King (and one by Henry Reynolds), 108 leaves (including a modern index and a few blanks).

Written probably in two hands: i.e. A: ff. 5r-63v, that of King's amanuensis, Thomas Manne (1581/2-1641), in three varying styles, becoming increasingly shaky as he proceeded (c.1633-6); and B: ff. 64r-86r, in the hand of Manne's imitator (c.1636-40); the text corrected throughout c.1636 in the hand of King himself (most notably on ff. 16v, 23r, 24r, 25r, 28r, 49r, 53v, 56r, and 65v); other items added later (c.1658) in yet another hand comprising (ff. 87v-105v) an anonymous sermon Preached at the solemne Funeralls of the Right Honorable Katherine Countess of Linstr July 3. Anno Domi: 1657 (ff. 106r-7r), King's elegy on her (KiH 167) and (f. 108r) another, anonymous elegy beginning Sleepe Pretious Ashes, in thy sacred Urne, these additions suggesting the possibility that the MS might have been originally prepared for Katherine, Countess of Leinster.
c.1633-58.

  A six-line (epitaph) version is ascribed to the Countesse of Faukland in two MS copies. In some sources it is followed by a further 44 lines (elegy) beginning Yet were bidentalls sacred and the place. The latter also appears, anonymously, as a separate poem in a number of other sources.
