Anglorum Magnanimus BEVILLIVS GRANVIL Cornubiensis Eques Auratus VERSES BY The University of OXFORD On the Death of the Most Noble and Right Valiant Sir Bevill Grenvill alias Granvill Kt. Who was Slain by the Rebells at the Battle on Lansdown-Hill near Bathe July the 5. 1643. Aut spoliis ego jam raptis laudabor opimis Aut Letho insigni Virg. Aeneid Printed at Oxford in the Year of our Lord 1643. and now Reprinted at London 1684. To the Right Honourable John Earl of BATHE Viscount of Lansdown Baron Granvill of Granvill Bideford and Kilkhampton Lord-Lieutenant and High-Steward of the Dutchy of Cornwal Lord-Warden of the Stanneries Governour of Plymouth Groom of the Stole to his Majesty First Gentleman of his Majesties Bed-Chamber and One of the Lords of his Majesties most Honourable Privy-Councill THese Verses were an Epicedium of the Muses of Oxford made to adorn the Herse of your Noble Father who Dy'd so Gloriously at Lansdown in Defence of his Prince and Country It is Apparent what a Publique loss his Death was that one of the first Universities of Europe should think fit to Lament it A Respect it may be never done before to any but to the Royal Family But as there are few Persons my Lord so Deserving to be Celebrated as your Father so are there few Families which have had that Military Glory in them Not to go back so far as your great Ancestor Hamon Dentatus Earl of Corboil descended from the Warlike Rollo Duke of Normandy Nor to Mention his two Renowned Sons Robert Fitzhamon and Sr Richard de Granvill who came over with William the Conqueror and Ayded him at the Battle of Hastings to Wyn the Crown of England and afterward in the Conquest of Wales there are late Instances of other of your Progenitors who have Illustrated your Race by their valiant Actions In the War with France betwixt Henry the 8 th and Francis the first Sir Roger Granvil lost his life at Sea And his Son Sir Richard Granvil when he was very Young went a Volentier into Hungary to serve the Emperour Ferdinand against the Turk and after that was with Don John of Austria at the Battle of Lepanto the greatest Day that ever was at Sea since that of Actium At his Return home applying himself to the Sea he became an Expert Captain and Admirall after Several Voyages into the West-Indies and elsewhere Services done his Country with much Honour and Successe he was at last Slayn at the Azores Islands having with one of the Queen's Ships alone being unhappily Seperated from the rest of the Fleet whereof he was Vice-Admiral Sustain'd a fight against the whole Naval power of Spain never yeilding though his Guns were dismounted his men almost all hurt or kill'd himself Mortally Wounded and his Decks blown up that there was no place left to fight upon so that his Enemies were Astonished at his valour and Concern'd to save him as if he had been of their own Nation but his Wounds being too Mortall to be cured he Expired in a Few Hours and was Buried in the Ocean which had been the Theatre of his Glory I cannot forget another Sir Richard Granvill your Lordships Uncle who having done his Apprentice-ship in Arms in the Low-Countrys and German-Wars serv'd his late Majesty in the Northern Expeditions and then in the Wars of Ireland and at length coming to command one of the Kings Armies in the West kept that Country in his Majesties Obedience till the Rest of England was lost the fortune of the Parliament prevail'd every where A severe Observer of Military Discipline and my Lord General the Old Duke of Albemarle was wont to say one of the best Captains we had in all the War of England and Ireland As the Name and fortune of your Ancestors are Descended to your Lordship so is their Virtue too which appeared so early in you that before you were Seaventeen years Old you enter'd into your Fathers Command and after you had serv'd the King upon several Engagements in the Army and particularly in Cornwall at the Defeat of the Earl of Essex you brought those Valiant Companies in the Head of which your Father was slain at Lansdown to fight for his Majesty at the Second Battel of Newbery where you were like to have undergone your Fathers fate as well as Imitated his Virtue for being Engaged in the Thickest of the Enemies and having receiv'd severall wounds and one most Dangerous One in the Head with the blow of a Halberd which beat you to the Ground you lay for some time without Sense or Motion 'till a Body of the Kings Horse Charging the Enemy a-fresh beat them off the ground upon which you fought where you were found amongst the Dead Cover'd with Dust and Blood and being known were carried into that place of the Field where the King Prince of Wales his now Present Majesty were who sent you to Dennington Castle to be treated for your Wounds It could not My Lord but be matter of great Contentment to you to have his Majesty himself a witness of the Blood you had lost for him and a Spectator of that Loyalty and Courage which are the Hereditary Qualities of your Family No sooner were the Armies drawn off from the Field of Newbery but you were presently Besieged in Dennington where for some time you lay in Extream Danger of your life not only by those Desperate Wounds you had got in the late Battel but in the hazzard you were in of Receiving new ones from the Enemy the Bullets flying continually through the Room where you lay under Cure 'till you were Releived by the Victorious Forces of his Majesty at the Third Battel of Newbery Nor have you only Serv'd the King with your Sword in the Field but been another way a Chief Instrument of the Greatest good that ever came to England I mean the Restauration of his Majesty and of the Laws and Liberty of your Oppressed Country This my Lord was brought to pass by your Prudent and Successfull Negotiation with my Lord General Monck you having a particular Commission from the King to treat with him with whom when you had Conserted all things for his Majesties Return and that without Imposing the least Condition upon him you Posted away to Bruxells to give him an Account of it In which Journey as well as in the Rest of your Conduct in this Affair you exposed your self to no Ordinary Danger and most certainly serv'd the King your Master more Effectually then if you had won more then One Battel for him My Lord General who seem'd to be Inspir'd in the Carrying-on of this Great Business was so Circumspect that he would not write to the King by your Lordship for fear you might be Searched upon the Way and what you carried Intercepted and his Great Design Discover'd before it was Ripe and therefore left all to your Care and Prudent Management But at your Return he

Betwixt the Revenge One of her Majesties Ships Commanded by Sir Richard Granvill commonly called Grenvill Vice-Admiral and an Armada of the King of Spain Penned by the Honourable Sir Water Ralegh Knight BEcause the Rumours are diversly spred as well in England as in the Low Countrys and elsewhere of this late encounter between her Majesties Ships and the Armada of Spain and that the Spaniards according to their usuall manner fill the world with their vain-glorious vanity making great appearance of victories when on the contrary themselves are most commonly and shamefully beaten and dishonoured thereby hoping to possess the ignorant multitude by anticipating fore-running false reports It is agreeable with all good reason for manifestation of the truth to overcome falshood and untruth that the beginning continuance and Success of this late Honourable Encounter of Sr Richard Granvil and other her Majesties Captains with the Armada of Spain should be truly set down and published without partiality or false imaginations And it is no marvel than the Spainard should seek by false and Slanderous Pamphlets advisoes and Letters to cover their own loss and to derogate from others their due Honour especially in this Fight being performed far off Seeing they were not ashamed in the year 1588. when they purposed the Invasion of this Land to publish in Sundry Languages in Print great victories in words which they pleaded to have obtained against this Realm and spread the same in a most false sort over all parts of France Italy and elsewhere When shortly after it was happily manifested in very deed to all Nations how their Navy which they termed invincible consisting of 140 Sail of Ships not only of their own Kingdom but strengthened with the greatest Argosies Portugal Caracks Florentines huge hulks of other Countrys were by 30. of her Majesties Ships of War and a few of our own Merchants by the Wife Valiant and advantagious Conduct of the Lord Charles Howard High-Admirall of England beaten and shuffled together even from the Lizard in Cornwall first to Portland where they shamefully le●t Don Pedro de Valdes with his mighty Ship from Portland to Cales where they lost Hugo de Moncado with the Gallias of which he was Captain from Cales driven with Squibs from their Anchors were chased out of the sight of England round about Scotland and Ireland Where for the Sympathy of their barbarous Religion hoping to find Succour and assistance a great part of them were crusht against the Rocks and those other that landed being very many in number were notwithstanding broken slain and taken and so sent from Village to Village coupled in halters to be shipped into England Where her Majesty of her Princely and Invincible disposition disdaining to put them to death and scorning either to retain or entertain them they were all sent back again to their Countrys to witness and recount the worthy Achievements of their Invincible and Dreadfull Navy Of which the number of Souldiers the fearfull burthen of their Ships the Commanders names of every Squadron with all other their Magazines of provisions were put in Print as an Army and Navy unresistable and disdaining prevention With all which so great and terrible an ostentation they did not in all their Sailing round about England so much as Sink or take one Ship Bark Pinnesse or Cock-boat of ours Or ever burnt so much as one Sheepcote of this Land Whereas on the contrary Sir Francis Drake with only 800. Souldiers not long before landed in their Indies and forced Sant Iago Santo Domingo Cartagena and
