Brathwaite

Brathwaite, Richard, poet, was born about 1588 in Westmoreland. After studying at Oxford and Cambridge, he removed to London, and in 1611 published his first collection of poems under the title of The Golden Fleece. This was followed in 1614 by three other works, and in 1615 by some satires. His most famous production, however, appeared in 1638, viz. Barnabae Itinerarium - a record of English travel in English and Latin doggerel verse. He died in 1673.
