From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Christen Lauritsen Aagaard (27 or 28 January 1616, Viborg, Denmark — 5 February 1664, Ribe[1][2]), was a Danish poet. He was professor of poetry at Sorø Academy, and afterwards lecturer in theology at Ribe, in Jutland. Among other Latin poems, he wrote Threni Hyperborci, [Lamentations of the North] published, in folio, in 1648, on the death of Christian IV, King of Denmark. Several of his pieces are inserted in the second volume of Deliciae Poëtarum Danorum. [3]
