KING, See also:EDWARD (1612–1637) , the subject of See also:Milton's Lycidas, was See also:born in See also:Ireland in 1612, the son of See also:Sir See also:John King, a member of a See also:Yorkshire See also:family which had migrated to Ireland. Edward King was admitted a pensioner of See also:Christ's See also:College, See also:Cambridge, on the 9th of See also:June 1626, and four years later was elected a See also:fellow. Milton, though two years his See also:senior and himself anxious to secure a fellowship, remained throughout on terms of the closest friendship with his See also:rival, whose amiable See also:character seems to have endeared him to the whole college. King served from 1633 to 1634 as praelector and See also:tutor of his college, and was to have entered the See also:- CHURCH
- CHURCH (according to most authorities derived from the Gr. Kvpcaxov [&wµa], " the Lord's [house]," and common to many Teutonic, Slavonic and other languages under various forms—Scottish kirk, Ger. Kirche, Swed. kirka, Dan. kirke, Russ. tserkov, Buig. cerk

church. His career, however, was cut See also:short by the tragedy which inspired Milton's See also:verse. In 1637 he set out for Ireland to visit his family, but on the See also:roth of See also:August the See also:ship in which he was sailing struck on a See also:rock near the Welsh See also:coast, and King was drowned. Of his own writings many Latin poems contributed to different collections of Cambridge verse survive, but they are not of sufficient merit to explain the esteem in which he was held.
A collection of Latin, See also:Greek and See also:English verse written in his memory by his Cambridge See also:friends was printed at Cambridge in 1638, with the See also:title Justa Edouardo King naufrago ab See also:amicis moerentibus amoris et usstas xapev. The second See also:part of this collection has a See also:separate title-See also:page, See also:Obsequies to the Memorie of Mr Edward King, See also:Anno Dom. 1638, and contains thirteen English poems, of which Lycidas 1 (signed J. M.) is the last.
