CORBET, RICHARD (15821635) ,
English
 
bishop
  and poet, was born in 1582, the son of a nurseryman at Ewell, Surrey. At
Oxford
 , to which he proceeded from Westminster school in 1597, he was noted as a wit. On taking orders he continued to display this talent from the pulpit, and James I., in consideration of his " fine
fancy
  and preaching," made him one of the royal chaplains. In 162o he became
vicar
  of Stewkley,
Berkshire
 , and in the same year was made dean of Christchurch,
Oxford
 . In 1628 he was made
bishop
  of Oxford, and in 1632 translated thence to the see of
Norwich
 . Corbet was the author of many poems, for the most
part
  of a lively, satirical order, his most serious production being the Fairies' Farewell. His verses were first collected and published in 1647. His conviviality was famous, and many stories are told of his youthful merry-making in London taverns in company with Ben Jonson, who always remained his close friend, and other dramatists. He died at
Norwich
  on the 28th of July 1635.
