She was fluent in at least three languages and was an accomplished translator and poet. Her two translations from the French, A Discourse of Life and Death, by Philippe de Mornay, and Antonius, a TragA"die, by Robert Garnier were published together in 1592 by William Ponsonby. That combined volume is reprinted here.
