[7] [Daniel was tutor to her son William Herbert and preceptor to Ann
Clifford, Countess of Pembroke, but Sidney's sister seems to have been
the patroness rather than the pupil of Daniel.]

[8] His sister married John Florio, author of a famous Italian
dictionary, and tutor to queen Anne, consort of James the first, in
Italian, under whom Daniel was groom of the Privy-Chamber. [Anthoney a]
Wood, _Ath[enae]_ _Oxon[ienses]_. [London, 1691-92.] i. 379. col. 1.
[Warton's mention of "Daniel's Life" refers presumably to the brief
biography by Wood, here cited.]

[9] A. i. _Sc._ i[i]. [Warton was evidently quoting from the edition
prepared by Thomas Hawkins and sold by his own printer, Prince--_The
Origin of the English Drama_ (Oxford, 1773), III, 213.]

[10] _Sonn._ 50. [To show how "One of Spenser's cotemporary poets has
ridiculed the obsolete language of _The Fairy Queen_" Warton had already
quoted the first two lines of this sonnet in the second edition of his
_Observations on the Faerie Queene_ (London, 1762), I, 122, n.]

[11] From a manuscript note by bishop Tanner inserted in Wood's _Athen.
Oxon._ i. 379. Bibl. Bodl. ["Aug. 9. Jac. 1. The Dean and Chapter of
Cht. Ch. by grant under their Common Seal out of regard for the learning
wit and good conversation of Sam. Daniel gent. gave him leave to eat and
drink at the Canons Table whenever he thought fit to come."--Tanner's
marginal note (I, col. 447) in his copy (Bodleian MS. Top. Oxon. b. 8)
of the second, 1721, edition of Wood. Although Philip Bliss in his
edition of _Athenae Oxonienses_ (London, 1813) incorporated many of the
marginalia inserted by Tanner in his copy of Wood, Bliss evidently
overlooked this particular note. The editor is grateful to the Bodleian
Library for a photostat and for permission to quote. According to Mr. W.
G. Hiscock, Deputy Librarian at Christ Church, no mention of the "act"
concerning Daniel is now to be found in the records under his care.]

[13] At London in quarto [1582]. There is a fine manuscript copy, at
present, in the British Museum. Watson has many pieces in _Englands
Helicon_, 1600.

[14] In quarto.

[15] [Above the word "conformation" Warton added "constraint." It is not
clear whether he intended both to stand.]

[16] I have discovered, says Mr Steevens, in a Letter to me, that
