JOHN PYMPE.

[Footnote 280-1: [From Fenn, ii. 234.] We may as well place this

letter--the only remaining one of the series that has been

preserved--immediately after the other two. John Pympe seems to

have been a very industrious correspondent, and the art of

writing, in prose or verse, came to him very easily.]

[Footnote 280-2: Destroyed.--F.]

[Footnote 281-1: A term in Falconry, signifying the adding a piece

to a feather in a hawk’s wing.--F.]

[Footnote 281-2: Expensive.]

[Footnote 281-3: Laughed? Fenn in his modern version reads ‘when I

love.’]
