He was admitted to the Inner See also:Temple in 1600, but on the See also:death of Henry he no doubt went down to Grace-Dieu to See also:manage the family estates. He began to write See also:verse early, and in 1602, at the See also:age of nineteen, he published anonymously his See also:Metamorphosis of See also:Tobacco, written in very smooth couplets, in which he addressed See also:Drayton as his " loving friend." He lived in Leicestershire for many years as a See also:bachelor, being one " who never See also:felt Love's dreadful arrow." But in See also:process of See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf.

" He could leap 16 ft. at one leap, and would commonly, at a stand-leap, jump over a high See also:long table in the hall, See also:light on a See also:settle beyond the table, and raise himself straight up." This magnificent See also:young See also:man was not without See also:literary See also:taste; he edited his father's See also:posthumous poems, and wrote an enthusiastic See also:elegy on him; he was killed in 1644 at the See also:siege of See also:Gloucester. Another of Sir John Beaumont's sons, Gervaise, died in childhood, and the incidents of his death are recorded in one of his father's most touching poems. Sir John Beaumont concentrated his See also:powers on a poem in eight books, entitled The See also:Crown of Thorns, which was greatly admired in MS. by the See also:earl of See also:Southampton and others, but which is lost.

Of See also:late years, the peculiarities of John Beaumont's See also:prosody have See also:drawn See also:attention to his See also:work. He wrote the heroic See also:couplet, which was his favourite measure, with almost unprecedented evenness.

The poems of Sir John Beaumont were included in A. See also:Chalmers's English Poets, vol. vi. (181o). An edition, with " memorial introduction" and notes, was included (1869) in Dr A. B.
