Notes. Using the same pun and hunting metaphors as “Of Brittish Beasts the Buck is King”, this libel presents another fantasy of Buckingham’s death, again probably written in the spring or summer of 1628.

To hunt the Doe I have refu’sd

Which is a sporte by Greate men u’sd.

Yett shall I love to heare a Cry

Of hounds when Buck-in-game shall dye.
