Thomas See also:Newton, in a poem prefixed to The Hive of Hunnye (1578), says: " In See also:prime of youth thy pleasant See also:Penne depaincted Sonets sweete," and mentions his interludes, gallant See also:lays, rondelets and songs, explaining that it was in the See also:winter of his See also:age that he turned to sacred See also:lore and high See also:philosophy. In 1550 he published Certayne See also:Psalms .. . in Englishe See also:metre, and shortly afterwards was made a See also:gentleman of the See also:Chapel Royal. At See also:Mary's See also:accession he retained his See also:appointment, but in 1555 he is said to have been one of a party of twelve conspirators who had determined to take Mary's See also:life. Nothing came of this See also:plot, but shortly afterwards he was party to a See also:conspiracy to dethrone Mary in favour of See also:Elizabeth. Hunnis, having some knowledge of See also:alchemy, was to go abroad to See also:coin the necessary See also:gold, but this doubtful See also:mission was exchanged for the task of making false keys to the See also:treasury in See also:London, which he was able to do because of his friendship with See also:Nicholas Brigham, the See also:receiver of the See also:exchequer. The conspirators were, however, betrayed by one of their number, Thomas See also:Whyte. Some of them were executed, but Hunnis escaped with imprisonment. The See also:death of Mary made him a See also:free See also:man, and in 1559 he married See also:Margaret, Brigham's widow, but she died within the See also:year, and Hunnis married in 156o the widow of a See also:grocer. He himself became a grocer and See also:freeman of the See also:City of London, and super-See also:visor of the See also:Queen's Gardens at See also:Greenwich. In 1566 he was made See also:Master of the See also:Children of the Chapel Royal. No See also:complete piece of his is extant, perhaps because of the See also:rule that the plays acted by the Children should not have been previously printed. In his later years he See also:purchased See also:land at See also:Barking, See also:Essex. If the lines above his See also:signature on a 1557 edition of See also:Sir Thomas More's See also:works are genuine, he remained a poor man, for he refuses to make a will on the ground that " the See also:good that I shall leave, will notpay all I owe." In Harleian MS. 6403 is a See also:story that one of his sons,in the capacity of See also:page, drank the See also:remainder of the poisoned See also:cup supposed to have been provided by See also:Leicester for See also:Walter Devereux, 1st earl of Essex, but escaped with no injury beyond the loss of his See also:hair.
Hunnis's extant works include Certayne Psalms (1549), A Hive full of Hunnye (1578), Seven Sobbes of a sorrowful Soule for Sinne (1583), Hunnies Recreations (1588), sixteen poems in the See also:Paradise of Dainty Devices (1576), and two in See also:England's See also:Helicon (1600).
