Arthur Brett : ウィキペディア英語版 | Arthur Brett Arthur Brett (d. 1677?) was an English poet. == Life ==
Brett was, according to Anthony Wood, "descended of a genteel family". Having been a scholar of Westminster, he was elected to a studentship at Christ Church, Oxford, in 1653. He proceeded B.A. in 1656 and M.A. in 1659. He was one of the ''Terræ filii'' in the act held in St. Mary's Church, 1661, "at which time he showed himself sufficiently ridiculous". Having taken orders, he became vicar of Market Lavington, Wiltshire, but he seems after a while to have given up the living. He went up to London, where fell into poverty, begging from gentlemen in the streets, especially from Oxford men. He was somewhat crazed, according to Wood, who met him by chance in 1675, and was perhaps annoyed by his importunity, for he writes with some bitterness of him. Brett was ''a great pretender to poetry''. He died in his mother's house in the Strand "about 1677". Wood said he did not know "where his lean and macerated carcase was buried, unless in the yard of St. Clement's church, without Temple Bar".
