Brady (NICHOLAS with NAHUM TATE)

NICHOLAS, with NAHUM TATE, versifier of the Psalms, born in Bandon, Ireland, in 1659. He was educated at Westminster, Christ Church (Oxford), and Dublin, and kept a school at Richmond. Tate and Brady's metrical version of the Psalms was authorized in 1696, but with the strong opposition of many among the Tory clergy. His tragedy, "The Rape, or the Innocent Impostors," his blank verse and sermons have sunk into oblivion. He died in Richmond, England, May 20, 1726.
