In 1580 he joined the Society of Jesus, after a two years' novitiate, passed mostly at Tournay
.
In spite of his youth he was made See also:prefect of studies in the English college of the See also:Jesuits at See also:Rome, and was ordained See also:priest in 1584
.
It was in that See also:year that an See also:act was passed, forbidding any English-born subject of the See also:Queen who had entered into priest's orders in the Roman Catholic See also:- CHURCH

He went from one Catholic See also:family to another, administering the See also:rites of his Church, and in 1589 became domestic See also:chaplain to See also:Ann See also:Howard, whose See also:husband, the first See also:earl of See also:Arundel, was in See also:prison convicted of See also:treason
.
It was to him that Southwell addressed his See also:Epistle of Comfort
.
This and other of his religious tracts, A See also:Short See also:Rule of See also:Good See also:Life, Triumphs over Death, See also:Mary Magdalen's Tears and a Humble Supplication to Queen Elizabeth, were widely circulated in See also:manuscript
.
That they found favour outside Catholic circles is proved by Thomas See also:Nash's See also:imitation of Mary Magdalen's Tears in See also:Christ's Tears over See also:Jerusalem
.
After six years of successful labour Southwell was arrested
.
He was in the See also:habit of visiting the See also:house of Richard See also:Bellamy, who lived near See also:Harrow and was under suspicion on See also:account of his connexion with See also:Jerome Bellamy, who had been executed for sharing in See also:Anthony See also:Babington's See also:plot
.
One of the daughters, See also:Anne Bellamy, was arrested and imprisoned in the See also:gatehouse of See also:Holborn
.
She revealed Southwell's movements to Richard Topcliffe, who immediately arrested him
.
He was imprisoned at first in Topcliffe's house, where he was repeatedly put to the See also:torture in the vain See also:hope of extracting See also:evidence about other priests
.
Transferred to the gatehouse at See also:Westminster, he was so abominably treated that his father petitioned Elizabeth that he might either be brought to trial and put to death, if found guilty, or removed in any See also:case from " that filthy hole." Southwell was then lodged in the See also:Tower, but he was not brought to trial until See also:February
1595
.
There is little doubt that much of his See also:poetry, none of which was published during his lifetime, was written in prison
.
On the 20th of February 1J95 he was tried before the See also:court of See also:- KING

See also:Ben See also:Jonson told See also:Drummond of Hawthornden that he would willingly have destroyed many of his own poems to be able to claim as his own Southwell's " Burning Babe," an extreme but beautiful example of his fantastic treatment of sacred subjects

His poetry is not, how-ever, all characterized by this elaboration
