MATTHEW STEVENSON

The D.N.B. is not able to be more precise with regard to his dates than “fl. 1654–1685,” the latter apparently inserted upon the ground that there was a reissue of his poems, under the title of The Wits, in that year. I think the following entry in the register of S. Mary in the Marsh, Norwich, relates to his burial:—

“Stevenson, Matthew b. 20 March 1683” (i.e. 1683/4).
