D'Assigny, Marius; Usher in 1730. This entry by Russell Barker and Stenning rests on the fact that “Marius D’Assigny” is given as the author of the “Verses spoken by the King’s Scholars at Westminster, at their Annual Feast, on Queen Elizabeth’s Birth-day, 1729-30”, printed in R.Dodsley, ed., A Collection of Poems, 1758, vol.5, p.119-25, where Dodsley adds a footnote “One of the Ushers of Westminster School”. No person of this name is recorded in other sources at this time, and the probability is that “Marius D’Assigny” is a pseudonym, perhaps for Robert Freind (KS 1680, qv), to whom the poem is alternatively attributed (the poem cannot have been written by Rev.Marius D’Assigny (1643-1717), for it contains contemporary references showing that it must have been written in 1729/30)
