Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Horae Lyricae and Divine Songs Encomiums On Watts To Dr. Watts, On The Fifth Edition Of His Horae Lyricae. Sovereign of sacred verse, accept the lays Of a young bard that dares attempt thy praise. A Muse, the meanest of the vocal throng, New to the bays, nor equal to the song, Fir'd with the growing glories of thy fame, Joins all her powers to celebrate thy name. No vulgar themes thy pious Muse engage, No scenes of lust pollute thy sacred page; You in majestic numbers mount the skies, And meet descending angels as you rise, Whose just applauses charm the crowded groves, And Addison thy tuneful song approves. Soft harmony and manly vigour join, To form the beauties of each sprightly lice, For every grace of every Muse is thine. Milton, immortal bard, divinely bright, Conducts his favourite to the realms of light. Where Raphael's lyre charms the celestial throng, Delighted cherubs listening to the song: From bliss to bliss the happy beings rove, And taste the sweets of music and of love. But when the softer scenes of life you paint, And join the beauteous virgin to the saint; About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Horae Lyricae and Divine Songs When Dr. Watts was urged by his friends to leave behind him some memoirs from which a history of his life might be composed, he absolutely declined it, and desired that his character might stand in the world merely as it would appear in his works. It is indeed fully pourtrayed there, without varnish and without disguise. But it is pleasing to contemplate in one view, the even tenour of a long life, innocently and industriously passed in uniform tranquillity and perfect content ment.

Download or read book Song Exchange in Roman Pastoral written by Evangelos Karakasis and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2011-01-27 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Agonistic or friendly song exchange in idyllic settings forms the very heart of Roman pastoral. It is also a key means of metapoetic stance-taking on the part of the long line of authors who have cultivated this “traditional” genre. The present book examines the motif of song exchange in Roman bucolic poetry under this double aspect: as a central theme with established or constantly forming sub-themes and paraphernalia (thus providing a comprehensive listing, description and analysis of such scenes in the totality of Roman literature), and as the locus where, thanks to its very traditionality, innovative generic tendencies are most easily expressed. Starting from Vergil, and continuing with Calpurnius Siculus, the Einsiedeln Eclogues and Nemesianus, the book focuses on how politics, panegyric, elegy, heroic and didactic poetry function as guest genres within the pastoral host genre, by tracing in detail the evolution of a wide variety of literary, linguistic, stylistic and metrical features.

Download or read book The Song of Troilus written by Thomas C. Stillinger and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2015-09-30 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Song of Troilus traces the origins of modern authorship in the formal experimentation of medieval writers. Thomas C. Stillinger analyzes a sequence of narrative books that are in some way constructed around lyric poems: Dante's Vita Nuova, Bocaccio's Filostrato, and Chaucer's Troilus and Criseyde. The shared aim of these texts, he argues, is to imagine and achieve an unprecedented auctoritas: a "lyric authority" that combines the expressive subjectivity of courtly love poetry with the impersonal authority of Biblical commentary. Each of the three establishes its own formal and intertextual dynamics; in complex and unexpected ways, the hierarchies of Latin learning are charged with erotic force, allowing the creation of a new vernacular Book of Love. The Song of Troilus is a linked series of incisive close readings. Each chapter defines and investigates a range of philological, intertextual, and theoretical problems; in addition to explicating his three principal texts, Stillinger offers important insights into a range of medieval traditions, from Psalm commentary to Trojan historiography to Ricardian political satire. At the same time, The Song of Troilus is a sophisticated narrative of cultural change and a searching meditation on history, desire, and writing. The Song of Troilus is an original and highly readable study of three major medieval texts; it will be of compelling interest to students and scholars of medieval literature, and to all those exploring the history of authorship and the implications of literary form.

Download or read book Explorations in Latin Literature Volume 2 Elegy Lyric and Other Topics written by Denis Feeney and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2021-08-19 with total page 571 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Denis Feeney is one of the most distinguished scholars of Latin literature and Roman culture in the world of the last half-century. These two volumes conveniently collect and present afresh all his major papers, covering a wide range of topics and interests. Ancient epic is a major focus, followed by Latin lyric, historiography and elegy. Ancient literary criticism and the technology of the book are recurrent themes. Many papers address the problems of literary responses to religion and ritual, with an interdisciplinary methodology drawing on comparative anthropology and religion. The transition from Republic to Empire and the emergence of the Augustan principate form the background to the majority of the papers, and the question of how literary texts are to be read in historical context is addressed throughout. All quotations from ancient and modern languages have now been translated and Stephen Hinds has contributed a foreword.

Download or read book Marian Devotion in Thirteenth century French Lyric written by Daniel E. O'Sullivan and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2005-01-01 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Texts centred on the mother of Jesus abound in religious traditions the world over, but thirteenth-century Old French lyric stands apart, both because of the enormous size of the Marian cult in thirteenth-century France and the lack of critical attention the genre has garnered from scholars. As hybrid texts, Old French Marian songs combine motifs from several genres and registers to articulate a devotional message. In this comprehensive and illuminating study, Daniel E. O'Sullivan examines the movement between secular and religious traditions in medieval culture that Old French religious song embodies. He demonstrates that Marian lyric was far more than a simple, mindless imitation of secular love song. On the contrary, Marian lyric participated in a dynamic interplay with the secular tradition that different composers shaped and reshaped in light of particular doctrinal and aesthetic concerns. It is a corpus that reveals itself to be far more malleable and supple than past readers have admitted. With an extensive index of musical and textual editions of dozens of songs, Marian Devotion in Thirteenth-Century French Lyric brings a heretofore neglected genre to light.
