Steward, Sir Simeon (1579/80?-1629?), poet, was the surviving son of Mark Steward (c.1525—1604) of Stuntney, Cambridgeshire, and his wife, Anne, daughter of the royal physician Robert Huicke.

 "The Mammon of Unrighteousness"   (Site not responding. Last check: )
The steward, realizing that his lord would soon fire him and put him out on the streets, sought to secure himself with yet one more act of fraud: He discharged certain debts owed to his lord after accepting from the debtors payments that were substantially less than the amounts truly owed.
