Wilkinson, C. H. (ed.). Will Goddard's A Neaste of Waspes Latelie Found out and discouered in the Law-countreys (1615). Oxford University Press, 1921.

All students of Elizabethan life and literature will be grateful for this recent edition of Goddard's epigrams, but only those scholars who have sought in vain to examine this rare and interesting little volume in the original edition can appreciate fully the service rendered to scholarship by Mr. Wilkinson and the Oxford Press. Only two copies of A Neste of Waspes are known: one in the Library of Bridgewater House, and the copy in the Library of Worcester College, Oxford. The latter has been reproduced by Mr. Wilkinson, who writes that, "with the exception of two wrong numbers and some turned letters which have been corrected, the present edition is an exact reprint of the original." The volume is neatly bound and excellently printed. One wishes, however, that the prefatory notes were a little fuller.

Goddard's volume contains 102 epigrams, which are divided into three sections, preceded by short poems titled "To the Reader" and "The Commission." Like most epigrams of the period, Goddard's are rather indecent and somewhat vicious. The author is careful to point out that he intends to "make the whole world smart," his mistress excepted. Other women he does not spare, the third section of his book being devoted almost entirely to them.

Goddard is not very complimentary to the Dutch; and amongst the people of England he "stings" particularly the Catholic priests, parish parsons, actors, lawyers, “roaring boys," and merchants. Being a soldier himself, his epigrams are sometimes very complimentary to the men-of-arms. As poetry Goddard's epigrams do not rank high, but they are of considerable value for the light they throw on the life and manners of the early seventeenth century.
