Henry Wotton (poet)

[2][3][4] In 1578 Henry Wotton published a translation he had made from the French a collection of stories from Italian romances, interspersed with verse, entitled A Courtlie Controversie of Cupids Cautels containing five Tragicall Historyes by three Gentlemen and two Gentlewomen, translated out of French by Hen.
