Abstract

From Recusancy to Apostasy: Donne's "Satyre 111" and "Satyre V" "To my satyrs there belongs some feare," Donne onee wrote to Henry Wotton. 1 Of wh at would this fear eonsist, if not of their explicitly pro-Catholie polemie, putting them at odds, politically as weil as doetrinally, with the Protestant Monarehy? Indeed, listing the anti-Catholie legislation enaeted from 1581 to 1606, the Ellesmere manuseripts suggest just how dangerous an open espousal of the Old Faith might be: A. Comming and being: treason. B. Practicing and seducing: treason. C. Knowing and not discovering a Jesuit or priest: forfaiture 200 li. D. Receaving and mainteyning within the realm: felonye. E. R~leiving those that be beyonde seas: praemumre. F. Preists submitting not to come within 10 myles of the Courte. Forfaiture: to loose the benefit of their submission to be voyde .... K. Recusants convicted not to come to the Courte nor to abide within 10 myles of London. Forfaite: 100li. L. Recusants convicted confined departing etc. Forfait: aH goods and chattels, proffites of landes during life.... P.
