WILLIAM SEYMOUR, &c.small oval. W. Richardson.

The Marquis of Hertford was, in the preceding reign, imprisoned in the Tower for marrying Arabella Stuart, who was nearly allied to the royal family. He was well bred, and eminently learned; and was, by the king, thought a proper person to be intrusted with the education of the heir to his crown. He had long devoted himself to retirement, which he well knew how to enjoy; and he enjoyed it the more for having formerly been at court. In the beginning of the civil war, he was torn from his beloved studies, and placed at the head of an army, where he acquitted himself with courage and conduct. He, as well as the Roman Lucullus, is an instance, that a man conversant with the Muses may know how to fight and to conquer. He, with only two troops of horse, and four thousand foot, bravely resisted the whole force of the Earl of Bedford, which consisted of above seven thousand foot, besides horse and artillery. Ob. 4 Oct. 1660; having been restored to the dukedom of Somerset, in September, the same year.t
