He was back at Whitehall in May 1632; but during his short service he had been present at the Battle of Breitenfeld and in many sieges. His poetic talent was only one of many accomplishments, but it commended him especially to Charles I and his queen, Henrietta Maria . He says of himself ("A Sessions of the Poets") that he "prized black eyes or a lucky hit at bowls above all the trophies of wit." He was the best card-player and the best bowler at court. Aubrey says that he invented the game of cribbage , and relates that his sisters came weeping to the bowling green at Piccadilly to dissuade him from play, fearing that he would lose their portions.

THE CRIBBAGE BOOKSTORE Home About Us Catalog Play Cribbage to Win ... Contact Us The Lost Works of Sir John Suckling Cribbage was invented by 17th-century poet John Suckling. We've discovered several of his lost works, poems that don't seem to appear in any literature books. Enjoy. Ode To The Cut I've been playing cribbage for thirty-two years, And one thing has always held true. Whenever I throw my opponent King-3, I'm certain to cut him a 2. Whenever I throw my opponent King-Jack, I can't help but cut him a Queen. And of course he just happens to throw King-Jack too, So the guy ends up getting sixteen. When I throw two 5's in my own crib, two points Is the most I can ever find. But if I threw those nickels to somebody else, He'd score at least twenty-nine. If I throw him a 7, the cut is an 8. If I throw him a 6, it's a 9. Why does it happen whenever it's his crib, And never when it's mine? I think when I first learned to play this game, The card gods must have laughed, And decided to give my opponents great cuts, While giving me the shaft.

Sir John Suckling
Born to an old and wealthy Norfolk family, Suckling was educated at Westminster School, Trinity College Cambridge and Grays Inn.
He inherited the family wealth at 18 and pursued a military and ambassadorial career overseas which saw him knighted in 1830. He returned to the English court in 1632 where through his wealth and charm he was known as an elegant and popular gallant and gamester, credited with having invented the game of cribbage. Like the other cavalier poets he scorned the sonnet and the sentimentality of love poetry, writing lyrics with short lines displaying an urbane, graceful and somewhat cynical wit. He won dramatic acclaim with his performances of Aglaura but much of his work was published only after his death.
A leader of the royalists he accompanied Charles I to defeat in Scotland in 1639, and was ridiculed for his troop's bright costumes and poor performance in battle. Two years later he was involved in a plot to rescue the Earl of Stafford from the Tower of London, and had to flee to Paris to escape arrest. Here he is rumoured to have committed suicide by poison within the year.

SUCKLING, SIR JOHN Sucklings reputation as a poet depends on his minor pieces. they have wit and fancy, and at times exquisite felicity of expression. Easy, natural Suckling, Millamants comment in Congreves J4Tay of the World (Act iv., sc. i.) is a just tribute to their spontaneous quality. Among the best known of them are the Ballade upon a Wedding, on the occasion of the marriage of Roger Boyle, afterwards earl of Orrery, and Lady :lfargaret Howard, I prithee, send me back my heart, Out upon it, I have loved three whole days together, and Why so pale and wan, fond lover? from Aglaura. A ;essions of the Poets, describing a meeting of the contemporary versifiers under the presidency of Apollo to decide who should wear the laurel wreath, is the prototype of many later satires. A collection of SOcklings poems was first published irs 1646 as Fragmenta aurea, the so-called Selections (1836) published by the Straffords Letters and Despatches (1739), L 336. 1 For an account of the proceedings see Historical Collections, ed. by Rushworth (1680), 2nd pt. pp. 288293.

Sir John Suckling
John Suckling was born in Norfolk and was educated at Trinity College, Cambridge and Gray's Inn. He was knighted in 1630 and after his return in 1632 from military exploits abroad lived in great style at court, dissipating his inheritance through gambling. According to John Aubrey, a contemporary chronicler, he was fond of bowling and cards and was the inventor of the game of cribbage. In 1639 he fought in the Bishops' Wars and two years later was forced to flee to France after his unsuccessful involvement in a plot to free the imprisoned Earl of Strafford was discovered. According to Aubrey, he committed suicide there by taking poison. His chief works are included in Fragmenta Aurea (1646) which comprises poems, plays, and letters. His The Wits or Sessions of the Poets , in which a number of contemporary writers compete for the Laureate, was presented before the king in 1637. Aglaura , a five-act play, appeared the following year, as did another play, The Goblins . Suckling was a classic example of the cavalier poet, whose life was brief, colourful, and eventful.

Sir John Suckling
A Doubt of Martyrdom
O FOR some honest lover's ghost,
Some kind unbodied post
Sent from the shades below!
I strangely long to know
Whether the noble chaplets wear
Those that their mistress' scorn did bear
Or those that were used kindly. For whatsoe'er they tell us here
To make those sufferings dear,
'Twill there, I fear, be found
That to the being crown'd
T' have loved alone will not suffice, Unless we also have been wise And have our loves enjoy'd. What posture can we think him in That, here unloved, again Departs, and 's thither gone Where each sits by his own? Or how can that Elysium be Where I my mistress still must see Circled in other's arms? For there the judges all are just, And Sophonisba must Be his whom she held dear, Not his who loved her here. The sweet Philoclea, since she died, Lies by her Pirocles his side, Not by Amphialus. Some bays, perchance, or myrtle bough For difference crowns the brow Of those kind souls that were The noble martyrs here: And if that be the only odds (As who can tell?), ye kinder gods

http://www.poeticbyway.com/xsucklin.htm
SIR JOHN SUCKLING
A BALLAD UPON A WEDDING (Excerpts) This poem provides an example of a parody. It parodies an epithalamium (wedding poem).
I tell thee, Dick, where I have been,
Where I the rarest things have seen,
Oh, things without compare!
Such sights again cannot be found
In any place on English ground,
Be it at wake, or fair. This poem also provides an example of tail rhyme. At Charing-Cross, hard by the way,
Where we (thou know'st) do sell our hay,
There is a house with stairs;
And there did I see coming down
Such folk as are not in our town, Forty, at least, in pairs. Amongst the rest, one pestilent fine (His beard no bigger, though, than thine!) Walked on before the rest. Our landlord looks like nothing to him; The King (God bless him) 'twould undo him, Should he go still so dressed. But wot you what? the youth was going To make an end of all his wooing; The parson for him stayed: Yet by his leave (for all his haste), He did not so much wish all passed, (Perchance), as did the maid.

Suckling, Sir John Suckling, Sir John, , one of the English Cavalier poets . He was educated at Cambridge and Gray's Inn. An accomplished gallant, he was given to all the extravagances of the court of Charles I. He was a prolific lover, a sparkling wit, and an excessive gamester. The antiquary John Aubrey credits him with having invented the game of cribbage. Subjected to a humiliating defeat in Charles I's Scottish campaign of 1639, he was said to be more fit for the boudoir than the battlefield. An ardent royalist, he took part in the plot to rescue (1641) Thomas Wentworth, 1st earl of Strafford, from the Tower of London and to secure aid for Charles from the French. On the failure of these endeavors Suckling fled to France, where, it is conjectured, being unable to face poverty, he was driven to suicide. After his death appeared Fragmenta Aurea See his works ed. by T. Clayton and L. A. Beaurline (1971). The Columbia Electronic Encyclopedia,
