In See also:November 1623 he was admitted See also:fellow-commoner of Jesus See also:College, See also:Cambridge, and in See also:January 1626 he entered the Inner See also:Temple; but the study of the See also:law being distasteful to him he travelled in See also:France and See also:Spain. On his return, an accomplished linguist, in 1635, he was appointed secretary to the English See also:embassy at See also:Madrid under See also:Lord See also:Aston. At the outbreak of the See also:Civil See also:War he joined the See also:- KING

time he was appointed secretary at war to the See also:prince of See also:Wales, with whom he set out in 1645 for the western counties, Scilly, and afterwards See also:Jersey. He compounded in 1646 with the See also:parliamentary authorities, and was allowed to live in See also:London till See also:October 1647, visiting See also:Charles I. at See also:Hampton See also:Court. In 1647 he published his See also:translation of the Pastor Fido of See also:Guarini, which he reissued in 1648 with the addition of several other poems, See also:original and translated. In 1648 he was appointed treasurer to the See also:navy under Prince See also:Rupert. In November of this See also:year he was in See also:Ireland, where he actively engaged in the royalist cause till the See also:spring of 165o, when he was despatched by Charles II. on a See also:mission to obtain help from Spain. This was refused, and he joined Charles in See also:Scotland as secretary. On the 2nd of See also:September 165o he had been created a See also:baronet. He accompanied Charles in the expedition into See also:England, and was taken prisoner at the See also:battle of See also:Worcester on the 3rd of September 1651. After a confinement of some See also:weeks at See also:Whitehall, he was allowed, with restrictions, and under the supervision of the authorities, to choose his own See also:place of See also:residence. He published in 1652 his Selected Parts of See also:Horace, a translation remarkable for its fidelity, felicity and elegance. In 1654 he completed See also:translations of two of the comedies of the See also:Spanish poet See also:Antonio de See also:Mendoza, which were published after his See also:death, Querer per See also:solo querer: To Love only for Love's See also:Sake, in 167o, and Fiestas de See also:Aranjuez in 1671. But the See also:great labour of his retirement was the translation of the Lusiad, by See also:Camoens published in 1655. It is in ottava rima, with the translation prefixed to it of the Latin poem Furor Petroniensis. In 1658 he published a Latin version of the Faithful Shepherdess of See also:Fletcher.
In See also:April 16J9 Fanshawe See also:left England for See also:Paris, re-entered Charles's service and accompanied him to England at the Restoration, but was not offered any place in the See also:administration. In 1661 he was returned to See also:parliament for the university of Cambridge, and the same year was sent to See also:Portugal to negotiate the See also:marriage between Charles II. and the infanta. In January 1662 he was made a privy councillor of Ireland, and was appointed ambassador again to Portugal in See also:August, where he remained till August 1663. He was sworn a privy councillor of England on the 1st of October. In January 1664 he was sent as ambassador to Spain, and arrived at See also:Cadiz in See also:February of that year. He signed the first draft of a treaty on the 17th of See also:December, which offered advantageous concessions to English See also:trade, but of which one See also:condition was that it should be confirmed by his See also:government before a certain date. In January 1666 Fanshawe went to See also:Lisbon to procure the adherence of Portugal to this agreement. He
returned to Madrid, having failed in his mission, and was almost immediately recalled by See also:Clarendon on the plea that he had exceeded his instructions. He died very shortly afterwards before leaving Madrid, on the 26th of June 1666. He had a See also:family of fourteen See also:children, of whom five only survived him, Richard, the youngest, succeeding as second baronet and dying unmarried in 1694.
As a translator, whether from the See also:Italian, Latin, Portuguese or Spanish, Fanshawe has a considerable reputation. His Pastor Fido and his Lusiad have not been superseded by later scholars, and his rendering of the latter is praised by See also:Southey and Sir Richard See also:Burton. As an original poet also the few verses he has left are sufficient See also:evidence of exceptional See also:literary See also:- TALENT (Lat. talentum, adaptation of Gr. TaXavrov, balance, ! Recollections of a First Visit to the Alps (1841); Vacation Rambles weight, from root raX-, to lift, as in rXi vac, to bear, 1-aXas, and Thoughts, comprising recollections of three Continental
