Jackson HENRY HOWARD, EARL OF SURREY. 1516—1 547. GERALDINE. The story of Surreys love for the fair Geraldine, as related by all his early biographers,is as marvellous in its way, as any of the old knightly romances. According to Anthonyi Wood, Surrey made a tour in Italy, where he proclaimed the surpassing beauty of hislady, at her express command, and maintained the same at Florence, in a tournament,after the manner of the knights errant of old, coming off victorious, of course, to his andher great glory. He also visited the palace of her ancestors, the Geraldi, and was admit-ted into the very chamber in which she was born, where he broke forth into magnificatsin her praise! This story, which Anthony relates as a veritable bit of biography, hasbeen traced bapk to Michael Drayton, from whom he professed to derive it, and toThomas Nash, from whom he really did derive it, though he carefully avoids mentioningNash
