Francis Segar

Francis Segar (also spelt Seager) is known chiefly for The Schole of Vertue, a book of manners in verse printed in 1557. He contributed the legend of Richard, Duke of Gloucester, to the 1563 edition of A Mirror for Magistrates.

The poem here is taken from Joseph Haslewood’s 1815 reprint of Part III, where it is signed F. Seg.
