_Jacobus Præfectus Siculus._--I have a beautiful copy of a poem by this
person, entitled _De Verbo DEI Cantica_. The binding expresses its date:
"Neapoli, 1537." It is not, I believe, the work which suggested to Milton
his greater songs, though it is a pretty complete outline of the _Paradise
Lost_ and _Regained_/ What is known about the author, or any other works of
his?
