ABSTRACT
Duport was, like Herbert, educated at Trinity College, Cambridge, where he eventually became Fellow and Vice-Master. His ‘Ecclesiastes Solomonis’ (1662) made available for the first time Herbert’s Latin epigrams against Andrew Melville, the ‘Musae responsoriae’. But it was Duport’s ‘Musae subcesivae’ (1676) that provided the learned tribute to Herbert, here reproduced with a translation by Ralph Williams. See also above, p. 10.
