Holland's first published work was a Latinelegy on John Harington, 2nd Baron Harington of Exton, who had died on 27 February [4] The elegy was included in Heroologia Anglica, a two-volume illustrated work in folio printed in by Holland's brother, Henry Holland.[5]

In Holland published in quarto a long poem describing the Battle of Lepanto entitled Naumachia; or, Holland's sea-fight.

The volume contained commendatory verses by Michael Drayton, among others, and was dedicated to George Gordon, then Earl of Enzie, son and heir to George Gordon, 1st Marquess of Huntly, and a favourite of King James, who had him educated with his own sons, Prince Henry and Prince Charles.

The latter was a reprint by Holland's brother, Henry, of John Davies of Hereford's Scourge of Folly of [7]
