This translation, 'somewhat altered' to serve as a sequel to an English hexametrical version of Tasso's Aminta, was republished in 'The Countesse of Pembrokes Ivychurch' of 1591. Again in 1592 Watson produced another work entitled Amintae Gaudia, part of which was translated under the title An Old-fashioned Love, and published as by I. T. in 1594.
Webbe, in his Discourse of English Poetry , gives hexametrical translations of the first and second eclogues, while another version of the second in the same metre appears first in Fraunce's Lawyer's Logic , and again with corrections in his Ivychurch . Several further translations followed in the seventeenth century.
There are a few big watercourses the New Sewer, the Yokes Sewer, the White Kemp Sewer there are a few white roads, and a great many marsh villages Brenzett, Ivychurch, Fairfield, Snargate, Snave each little more than a church with a farmhouse or two.
The banks were rich with loosestrife and meadowsweet, and as they walked on, the arching of hawthorn and willow made of the stream and the path beside it a little tunnel of shade and scent. The distant farmyard sounds which spoke of Ivychurch behind them gradually faded into a thick silence.

She had been here before with Martin, and after tea she and Albert went into the church and looked around them. But his interest in old places was not the same as Martin's.
Or take Ivychurch; so noble and lovely a thing is the church that even without it catches the breath, while a whole afternoon is not enough to enjoy its inward beauty. Or take Brenzett, where, it is true, the church has been rebuilt, but where you will still find a noble seventeenth century tomb with its effigies in armour.
Sometimes they crossed the Rhee Wall on to Romney Marsh, and he showed her the great church at Ivychurch, which could have swallowed up in its nave the two small farms that make the village. He took her into the church at New Romney and showed her the marks of the Great Flood, discolouring the pillars for four feet from the ground. "Doesn't it thrill you?
The roof of the organ chamber and vestry are of much interest; they are part of the refectory roof of Ivychurch Priory. The country to the north of the little old town is very beautiful. The precipitous wall of the Marlborough Downs, with several lovely and little-known villages at its foot, is a remarkable feature of the landscape.
