SANDYS, George, brother of Sir Edwin, and youngest son of Archbishop Sandys, was born in 1577. He was a very accomplished man, travelled over several parts of Europe and the East, and published a relation of his journey in folio in 1615. He made an elegant translation of Ovid's Metamorphoses; and composed some poetical pieces of his own, which were greatly admired at the time in which they were written. He also paraphrased the Psalms; and has left behind him a translation, with notes, of one Sacred Drama, written originally by Grotius, under the title of Christus Patiens, on which, with Adamus Exul, and Masenia, is founded Lauder's impudent charge of plagiarism against Milton. Our author became one of the privy chamber to Charles I., and died in 1643.
