The collection of Sir William Petty in the British Library contains a number of examples of a light-hearted sub-group of such verse, for which Petty uses the term ‘leonine’. The ‘leonine’ was a rhymed Latin poem in an irregular, accentual rhythm, which favoured witty neologisms and amusingly unexpected two-syllable rhymes. Pieces were circulated exclusively in manuscript. Prominent practitioners of this enjoyable genre included Petty himself, Peter Pett, and the Earl of Anglesey. The article analyses in detail a leonine by Petty on the London coffee houses, and offers a verse translation. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Seventeenth Century is the property of Taylor & Francis Ltd and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
