In Fuller’s words

“It is intended chiefly as a setting to the Latin poems of Lord Herbert, which are known to few, — a year ago, seemingly, were so to none in this part of the world. The only desire in translating them has been to do so literally, as any paraphrase, or addition of words impairs their profound meaning.”
