The dates of Mary Fage are not known, it is assumed however that
she was flourishing around 1637. Fames Roule comprises a series of
over 400 acrostic verses, each containing an anagram and each
addressed to one of the noble and powerful of Caroline England. As
such it constitutes a verbal salute to court culture. While they
may not be of great literary value, her verses are an extreme
example of the pervasive word play of her time, and their contents
afford an extended glimpse at social construction of upperclass
reality in Caroline England. Reproduced here is the copy held at
the Huntington Library.
