Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cavalier Poets In considering the licentiousness which sometimes tainted the purity of his verse, we must make allowance for the age in which he lived. Lines unfit for modern ears, would have given little or no offense in that bygone period. There are passages in the works of Lovelace and his compeers that are to be counted among the rarest gems of verse; gems which should live even if the very names of the gallant authors be lost in the mist of years.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Cavalier Poets: Their Lives, Their Day, and Their Poetry Seldom has criticism been more false. Here the gruff old Doctor seized upon an idea found in Dry den's Discussion Concerning the Origin and Progress of Satire, where the father of English criticism declares that Dr. Donne, who in part founded this school of singers, affects the metaphysics, and perplexes the minds of the fair sex with nice speculations of philosophy when he should engage their hearts and entertain them with the softness of love. Thereupon the cock-sure Samuel ex ploited this undoubted defect of Donne and his fol lowers as a salient characteristic, and stretched the name metaphysical until it covered nearly all the poets of the earlier seventeenth century who failed to lean toward the Dryden style of poetry.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Cavalier to His Lady: Love-Poems of the 17th Century It will be seen that I have not gone far afield in my gleaning; most of the now famous Elizabethan Lyrics are here, and if I have omitted any such (as certain of Shakespeare's, for instance) it was for lack neither of due consideration nor of appreciation, but because they were adjudged either over-familiar, or outside my time-limit (however elastic and arbitrary), or otherwise inconvenient to my scheme. To many readers well acquainted with the majority of these poems, some, I think, will be new - such as Sedley's Love still has something of the sea and his Phillis is my only joy, wherein the first line of the one should captivate the fancy, and the first line of the other strike familiarly on the ear. At the Worst I must put forward the anthologist's ultimate defence, that I put them in because I like them. A lesser apology will, I h0pe, be required for Wither's sonnet, Now gentle sleep hath closed up those eyes, despite its apparent derivation from the least translatable carmen of Catullus. To the end of Ben Jonson's See the chariot at hand here of love, I have attached Suckling's parody, Hast thou seen the down in the air, which possesses merits quite different from those of its original. A collocation of perhaps greater interest is that of Jonson's song. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The King and the Commons: Cavalier and Puritan Song This little pleasure-book of English vein attempts to blend the voices of true poets who lived in the time of Charles I. and the Commonwealth, into a genuine expression of the manner of their music and the spirit of their time. During the first seven years of the reign of Charles I. all the poets who are here to be heard singing were alive together. In the next year George Herbert passed away; then Randolph; then, in the middle of the reign, Ben Jonson; Carew next; and in its latter years, besides Quarks and Ford, three died in early manhood -Suckling, Cartwright, and Habington. Drummond's death followed close upon the King's; Crashaw lived only into the next year; Lovelace and Cleveland did not survive the Commonwealth; while Milton and Andrew Marvell, Waller, Davenant, Butler, Denham, Cowley, with George Wither, whose age was sixty at the end of the reign of Charles I., lived on into the time of Charles II.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cavalier and Courtier Lyrists: An Anthology of 17th Century Minor Verse Upon in so far as it falls fairly well within the general scheme Of this volume, as ultimately determined. To have mingled the strains Of hymns and serenades would have tended to discord; to avoid complications of arrangement sacred lyrics have not been included. Lyrists like Crashaw and Vaughan are represented, therefore, only very slightly and in secular con tributions and a few others who wrote copiously and on a variety Of themes, are also but slightly represented. The collection Of verse in this volume, though not comprehensively representa tive, will nevertheless, perhaps, serve as an index, and convey a tolerably adequate im pression Of some characteristic poetic ten dencies and qualities Of the period with which it deals.

Download or read book The Scottish Cavalier Vol 1 written by James Grant and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-08 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Scottish Cavalier, Vol. 1: An Historical Romance From the historical and descriptive nature of the following tale, the Author intended that certain passages should be illustrated with notes, containing the local traditions and authorities from which it has been derived; but on second thoughts he has preferred confining these explanations to the preface. History will have rendered familiar to the reader the names of many who bear a prominent part in the career of Walter Fenton; but there are other characters of minor importance, who, though less known to fame than Dundee and Dunbarton, were beings who really lived and breathed, and acted a part in the great drama of those days. Among these, we may particularise Douglas, of Finland, and Annie Laurie. This lady was one of the four daughters of Sir Robert Laurie, the first baronet of Maxwelton, and it was to her that Finland inscribed those well-known verses, and that little air which now bear her name, and are so wonderfully plaintive and chaste for the time; but it is painful to record that notwithstanding all the ardour and devotion of her lover, the fair Annie was wedded as described in the romance. Her father, Sir Robert, was created a baronet in 1685. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Cavalier: An Historical Novel Now, dear reader, this is a long, laborious, but not altogether unnecessary excuse for beginning the fol lowing work by a description. This description, how ever, must be given, for it is impossible for any man to form an accurate conception of how any actions were performed unless he have some knowledge of where they took place. For instance, what might have been done on Salisbury Plain could not be en acted on top of one of the Pyramids of Egypt; and therefore it is that I am obliged to present a picture of the scene in which many of the most important events about to be detailed took place. At the distance of about five-and-twenty miles from Paris, which, in the days of which I write was a long distance, but is now abbreviated to a mere span, there stood an old French chateau.

Beneath its Corinthian entablature, supported by black marble pillars, lie side by side the stony presentments of a Cavalier and his Lady: he grasps a truncheon, she a book - the latter emblem of the greatest power.

Download or read book Hesperides Or Works Both Human and Divine Classic Reprint written by Robert Herrick and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-05-07 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hesperides, or Works Both Human and Divine It was not until nine years after the completion of his course at Cambridge that Robert Herrick - in 1629, the year of his mother's death - took orders and was presented by Charles I. To the living of Dean Prior, in what he calls dull Devonshire. Though he was happiest as comrade of the poets of the town, and loved no scenery so well as that of Cheapside and the Strand; though he abuses the rocky stream of Dean Burn that breaks down from the moor through a wild little valley and feeds watercresses by the long and empty road between his parsonage and the few houses of Dean Prior; the love of flowers runs through all his verse. The watercresses of Dean Burn are not forgotten among the simple havings of his grange; and if he shows no interest in rural scenery, he was full of sympathy with all that was human in his little world among the hills. Dean Prior is on the borders of Dartmoor, and within easy reach of' some of the best scenery in Devonshire. For eighteen years Herrick lived in his Vicarage, and then reverse of fortune seemed to him almost a blessing, when he came to be among the deprived clergy; for when he gave place in 1647 to John Syms he returned to London, the blest place of his nativity. Herrick's source of income was cut off, but he belonged to a numerous and monied family. He had, as a poet and good Royalist, many patrons among whom the cause of his reverse entitled him to ready welcome, and he could dine well when he pleased at tables not his own. His first business when he came to London was to print, in 1647 - 8, the collection of poems he brought with him from Devonshire, and named, as being from the W'est, Hesperides: \v0rks Human and Divine. He was at that time about fifty-seven years old. The book strengthened friendships, but failed to win general attention in the troubled times of the last years of Charles I., or to touch the spirit that prevailed under the Commonwealth. Herrick published after this no other book, though he was for thirteen years, in London and elsewhere, withdrawn from his duties as a clergyman. It was not until August, 1662, that John Syms was in his turn ejected, and Robert Herrick, at the age of seventy-one, returned to his Vicarage. There he resumed his duties and spent the last twelve years of his life. He was buried there, on the a4th of October, 1674, aged eighty-three. Milton, whose age then was about sixty-six, died on the 8th of the next month. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
