Fragmenta Aurea:

A collection of all the incomparable peeces, written by Sir John Suckling. And published by a friend to perpetuate his memory. Printed by his owne copies.

Second edition of the famed Cavalier poet's posthumously published collection of poems and other writings. Suckling was a prominent figure in the court of King Charles I in the early 17th century, and his work was highly regarded by his contemporaries. Renowned for his careless gaiety and wit, he is also known as the inventor of cribbage. "Fragmenta Aurea" was first published posthumously in 1646, five years after Suckling's death, and it contains some of the finest examples of Cavalier poetry.
