Underwood, The, or Underwoods

Underwood, The, or Underwoods,
a collection of poems by Jonson , printed in the folio of 1640 . It includes ‘A Celebration of Charis’, ‘An Ode to Himself’, ‘An Execration upon Vulcan’ (concerning the fire in Jonson's library in 1623 ), ‘An Epigram on the Court Pucelle’, and the ode to Sir Lucius Cary and Sir Henry Morison . Like Jonson's The Forest and Timber , the title was suggested by Latin silva, which meant both ‘collection’ and ‘wood’.

Underwoods ( 1887 ) is also the name (confessedly adopted from Jonson) of a book of poems by R. L. Stevenson .
