Quarles'
evidencc that Shakespeare's
poem
was
still familiarly
continua-
cherished by
men
of letters
is
offered
by
the
fact
that
John
Quarles,
son of

author

Emblems^
penned
a
brief
continuation
in
six-line
stanzas
entitled
The Banishment
ofTarquin^
or.
The
Inward
of
Lust.
This
was
appended
to a reissue
of Shakespeare's
Lucrece
in
\6$j
—
the
last
of the seventeenth -century
editions.
The
dramatist
is
described on
the title-page
as
'
The
incomparable
Master
of
our
English
"Poetry
Will
:
Shakespeare,
Gent.'
—
a signal
testi-
mony to
his
repute at
the
time
when
Cromwell
was
Protector.
