"
Had our Author attended this worthy Person in his Embassies, it is
hardly possible he should not have taken some notice of it here;
being elsewhere so ready to honour himself with the Friendship or
Acquaintance of the Great Men of his Time.
As to what Mr. Wood adds, viz. that Mr. Carew was sent by his Father
into France with Sir Henry Nevill.... that he might learn the French
Tongue, &c. I am afraid he hath mistaken our Author for his Son, who,
in effect, went into France with a Nevill, in order to learn the
French Tongue ; as it appears by the following Verses of the aforesaid
Fitzgeffry, upon his Return.
Ad (s) RICHARDUM CARAEUM, Ri. Filium,
e Gallijs reducem.
Melligo juvenum Caraee, quotquot
Damnoni occiduis alunt in oris :
Ecquid Fama sinistimae (t) auricellae
Veris se insinuat meae susurris,
Te longae peregrinitates omnes
Exanclasse (v) molestias, marisq;
Emensum omnia taedia, ad parentes
Patremq; unanimum, piamq; matrem,
Membrorum incolumi statu redisse,
Onustum omnigenae eruditionis
Gazis & Spoliis, quot aut Camoenae
Dant vaenum emporio Lutetiano
Aut culto Aureliae urbis in Lycaeo.
