Upon the death of the promising Henry (Nov. 6, 1612), a prince, according
to Arthur Wilson[58], as eminent in nobleness as in blood, and who fell
not without suspicion of foul play, the poets his cotemporaries, whom he
liberally patronised, poured forth by reams their tributary verses.
Corbet, as it has been before observed, pronounced his funeral oration at
Oxford.
Nor was this all: while his bones were perishing and his flesh was
rottenness, Dr. Daniel Price, his chaplain during his life, continued to
commemorate his dissolution by preaching an anniversary sermon. Neither
the practice nor its execution was agreeable to Corbet, who, after a
triennial repetition, thus attacked the anniversarist.
