AURORA Containing the First Fancies of the Author's Youth with its own title page. Printed by Richard Field for Ed. Blount, Dtd. 1604 The Monarchicke Tragedies of William Alexander, THE EARL of STERLING are of great value in Shakespearian interest. In Darius are some lines similar to others in the celebrated "Cloud Cap'tn Tow'rs" of Shakespeare and to these Mr. G. Chalmers evidently alludes to in his Apology:- The Monarchicke Tragedies of Lord STERLING, must be allowed to have sentiments that sparkle; though no words that burn, were entitled to the Honour of King James acceptance, and to the higher honour of Shakespeare's adoption.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:[link removed by ]
William Alexander, 1st Earl of Stirling (c. 1567 inMenstrie,Clackmannanshire – 12 September 1640) was aScotsman who was an early developer ofScottish colonisation ofPort Royal,Nova Scotia andLong Island, New York. He was the son of Alexander of Menstrie and Marion, daughter of an Allan Couttie. As a young man William Alexander became tutor to theEarl of Argyll and accompanied him abroad. At a later date he received the place ofGentleman Usher toPrince Charles, son ofJames VI of Scotland, and continued in favour at court after Prince Charles became Charles I of England in 1625. He built a reputation as a poet and writer of rhymed tragedies, and assisted King James I and VI in preparing the metrical version known as "The Psalms of King David, translated by King James" and published by authority of Charles I. James knighted him in 1609 and appointed him theMaster of Requests for Scotland in 1614, effectively his private secretary. In 1615 he was made a member of the Scottish Privy Council.
