On settling back in England, he took up residence in Oxford, where he pursued his reading, and then in London. He failed to secure preferment, but enjoyed the patronage of the Duke of Buckingham, George Villiers who introduced him to King James. He wrote poetry, most notably a collection entitled Cypress Garland (1625), and was buried in Westminster Abbey on 28 July 1633. His memory as a man of letters is associated with the laudatory sonnet he wrote on Shakespeare, which was printed in the First Folio (1623).
He was married to Ursula, widow of Robert Woodard of Burnham, Buckinghamshire, with whom he had three children: a daughter named Phil and two sons, Martin and Arbellinus.
Anthony à Wood recorded a copy of his epitaph, in which Holland described himself as Miserimus peccator, musarum et amicitiarum cultor sanctissimus.[3]
