About: Dunbar

I am using the wonderful hypertext edition of Epigrammaton Ioannis Dunbari Megalo-Britanni Centuriae Sex, Decades Totidem, with both Latin and English texts, thanks to Jamie Reid Baxter and Dana F. Sutton. The Latin text was originally published in 1616.

About: Campion

For Campion's epigrams, I am using Dana Sutton's wonderful hypertext edition, which has Latin and English versions of the poems. You can read about Campion's musical and literary career in this Wikipedia article.

About: Wegeler

These verses come from Philosophia patrum versibus praesertim leoninis, rhythmis Germanicis adiectis collected by Julius Wegeler (1869), which you can find online at GoogleBooks. As you can see from the title, the original book contains rhyming German versions in addition to the Latin verses. I am a big fan of Leonine verses because of their use of rhyme in Latin. You can read more about this style of Latin verse in this Wikipedia article about Leonine verse. Many of the verses collected by Wegeler are one line in length only; I have used here the distichs, including both hexameter couplets and also elegiac couplets.
