Mungo Park's pathetic account of the hospitality and

kindness of women will ever be famous. Mr. Webbe's experience of the sex was less fortunate. He was taken prisoner by the Turks in a sea-fight during a voyage from Alexandria to Leghorn in 1572. Being a gunner by profession, he was, in 1583, made master-gunner of the Admiral's galley in an expedition to the "Land of Prester John [Turkestan (?)], within 18 degrees (1080 miles) of the sun." In describing a battle that took place there, he says,

"But it is worthy of memorie to see how the women of ye

towne did plie themselves with their weapons, making a great massacre upon our men, and murthered 500 of them in such speedie and furious sort as is wonderfull: we needed not to have feared their men at all, had not their women bin our great overthrow, at which time I my self was maister Gunner of the Admiral's Gally, yet chainde greeuously, and beaten naked with a Turkish sword flatling, for not shooting where they would have me, and where I could not shoot."

"William Webbe, who is styled a graduate, translated the Georgies into English verse, as he informs us in the Discourse of English Poetrie, lately quoted, and printed in 1586. And in the same discourse, which was written in defence of the new fashion of English hexameters, he has given us his own version of two of Virgil's Bucolics, written in that unnatural and imprac ticable mode of versification."- WARTON: History of English Poetry, ed. 1840, iii. 327.

"Gabriel Harvey ... recommended the adoption of hexameters, ... and Spenser appears to have concurred. Webbe, a few years afterwards, a writer of little taste or ear for poetry, supported the same scheme, but may be said to have avenged the wrong of English verse upon our great poet by travestying the
