ABSTRACT
Hugh Holland (d. 1633) moved from Westminster School, where he was taught by Camden, to Trinity College, Cambridge, where he was elected to a Fellowship. He contributed a commendatory sonnet to the First Folio of Shakespeare, and according to Edward Phillips in Theatrum Poeticum (q.v.) he was as a poet rated by some next to Sidney and Spenser – how is quite obscure. A variant of the first couplet in the quatrain printed below is quoted by Manningham in his Diary (B.M. MS. Harleian 5353, fol. 2).
