b. i. p. 13. In his character
of an accomplished _Maid of Honour_ of the queen's court, some curious
qualifications are recited. One of the first, to make her truly amiable,
is what he calls _Affectatio_.

She is to understand painting her cheeks, to have a collection of good
jokes, to dance, draw, write verses, sing, and play on the lute, and
furnish her library with some approved recipt-books. She is to be
completely skilled in cosmetics. "_Deglabret_, lavet, atque ungat, &c."
Lib. iiii. p. 21. 22. (See supr. ii[i]. [426, n].) Another book of
Harvey's Latin poetry is his _Smithus, vel Musarum Lacrymae_, on the
death of Seceretary [sic] Sir Thomas Smith, Lond. 1578. 4to. The
dedication is to Sir Walter Mildmay. When Smith died, he says, Lord
Surrey broke his lyre. _Cant._ v. He wishes on this mournful occasion,
that More, Surrey, and Gascoigne, would be silent. _Cant._ vi. Ascham,
Carr, Tonge, Bill, Goldwell, Watson, and Wilson, are panegyrised as
imitators of Smith. [Nicholas Carr, 1524-1568, was Regius Professor of
Greek at Cambridge. William Bill, d. 1561, was Master of Trinity
College, Cambridge. Perhaps Tonge is the Barnaby Tonge who matriculated
at Christ Church, Cambridge, in 1555. There were two John Goldwell's at
Cambridge in Smith's day: one was a fellow at Queen's from 1538 to 1542;
the other was named fellow of Trinity in 1546. For Wilson see Warton's
discussion earlier in the _History_ (III, 331-344), where this very
praise in Harvey's _Smithus_ is quoted.] _Cant._ vii. Signat. D. iij.

Rhetoric_, is again commended. Ibid. Sign. E. ij. Again, Sign. F. i. F.

_mira arte politum_, to Queens College Library at Cambridge. Ibid, Sign.
E. iij. [E4 verso.] He praises Lodovice Dolci's odes, and Ronsard.
_Cant._ ii. Sign. C. i. His iambics are celebrated by his cotemporaries.
See Meres, _Wits Tr._ fol. 280. 282. [283 verso.] (See supr. ii [i].
[401, n].) Nothing can be more unclassical than Harvey's Latin verse. He
is _Hobbinol_ in Spenser's Pastorals. Under that name, he has prefixed
two recommendatory poems to the first and second parts of the _Faerie
queene_. [There was only one such poem, but in some folio editions it
was inadvertently printed twice.] The old annotator on Spenser's
Pastorals prefaces his commentary, with an address, dated 1579, "To the
most excellent and learned
