Excerpt from Philotus: A Comedy, Reprinted From the Edition of Robert Charteris
Dempster, the poet died in 1595 but the peer is known to have survived till 1611. Whatever credit may be due to this literary historian, there are other circumstances more than sufficient to render their identity extremely dubious. Montgomery, in a sonnet addressed to Robert Hudson, specifies Semple as not exempted from the ordinary misfortunes of poets and as this sonnet appears to have been written when he was advanced in years, it affords another presumption against the identity of the poet and the peer.
