KING, EDWARD (16121637)

This article appears in Volume V15, Page 803 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: KHA-KRI
KING, EDWARD (16121637) , the subject of Milton's Lycidas, was born in Ireland in 1612, the son of Sir John King, a member of a Yorkshire family which had migrated to Ireland.
Edward
  King was admitted a pensioner of Christ's College,
Cambridge
 , on the 9th of June 1626, and four years later was elected a fellow. Milton, though two years his senior and himself anxious to secure a fellowship, remained throughout on terms of the closest friendship with his rival, whose amiable
character
  seems to have endeared him to the whole college. King served from 1633 to 1634 as praelector and tutor of his college, and was to have entered the
church
 . His career, however, was cut short by the tragedy which inspired Milton's verse. In 1637 he set out for Ireland to visit his family, but on the roth of August the ship in which he was sailing struck on a
rock
  near the Welsh
coast
 , and King was drowned. Of his own writings many Latin poems contributed to different collections of
Cambridge
  verse survive, but they are not of sufficient merit to explain the esteem in which he was held.
A collection of Latin, Greek and
English
  verse written in his memory by his Cambridge friends was printed at Cambridge in 1638, with the title Justa Edouardo King naufrago ab amicis moerentibus amoris et usstas xapev. The second
part
  of this collection has a
separate
  title-page, Obsequies to the Memorie of Mr
Edward
  King,
Anno
  Dom. 1638, and contains thirteen
English
  poems, of which Lycidas 1 (signed J. M.) is the last.
