Francis Fawkes : ウィキペディア英語版 | Francis Fawkes Francis Fawkes (1721–1777) was an English poet and translator. Fawkes translated Anacreon, Sappho, and other classics, modernised parts of the poems of Gavin Douglas, and was the author of the well-known song, ''The Brown Jug'', and of two poems, ''Bramham Park'' and ''Partridge Shooting''. His translation of the ''Argonautica'' in rhymed couplets appeared in 1780. ==Life== Fawkes was born near Doncaster, the son of Jeremiah Fawkes, for twenty-eight years rector of Warmsworth, Doncaster, and was baptised at Warmsworth 4 April 1720. He was educated at Bury Grammar School〔Fallows, I.B. "Bury Grammar School A History c.1570 to 1976" The estate Governors of the Bury Grammar Schools, Bury, 2001〕 under the Rev. John Lister. On 16 March 1738 he was admitted as a sizar to Jesus College, Cambridge, where his tutor was the Rev. Richard Oakley. He took his degree of B.A in 1742, and proceeded M.A. in 1745. He was ordained in the Church of England, and took the curacy of Bramham in Yorkshire. Fawkes later held the curacy of Croydon, where he came to the notice of Archbishop Thomas Herring; he became vicar of Orpington, Kent. Fawkes remained at Orpington until April 1774, when, by the favour of Charles Plumptree, rector of Orpington and patron of the adjacent rectory of Hayes, he was appointed to Hayes with the curacy of Downe. The other piece of clerical patronage which he received was a chaplaincy to the Princess Dowager of Wales. He died on 26 August 1777, when his widow, formerly a Miss Purrier of Leeds, whom he married about 1760, was left with scanty resources. His library was sold in 1778.
