Abstract
On February 14, 1613, Frederick, the Elector Palatine, was married to Princess Elizabeth, daughter of James 1 of England. Shortly afterwards he and Prince Charles made a visit to Cambridge University. As on all such occasions, disputations were held, plays were acted, and congratulatory poems in Greek and Latin were offered. A contemporary account preserved in Gonville and Caius College (MS. 73, p. 232) records that after a speech the orator ‘presented the Princes with eyther of them a written book of verses, fairly bownd in vellum filletted and guilded, with crimson strings; that to the Prin: was gratulatorie, only that to the Palat: the former part gratulatori, the latter Epithalamia.’
