Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Works of Michael Drayton, Esq., Vol. 3: Containing, the Remaining Twenty-Two Songs of the Poly-Olbion But from the threatning ftorm to fave itfelf may creep 'into that darkfome cave where once his foe did keep That now the clamb'ring goat all day which having fed, And climbing up to fee the fun go down to bed, 'ls not at all in doubt her little kid to lofe, Which grazing in the vale, fecure and fafe fhe knows. Where, from thefe lofty hills which fpacious heaven do threat, Yet of as equal height, as thick by nature fer, We talk how we are fior'd, or what we greatly need, Or how our flocks do fare, and how our herds do feed, When elfe the hanging rocks, and valleys dark and deep, The fummer's longel't day would us from meeting keep. Ye, cambrian {hepherds then, whom thefe our moun tains pleafe, And ye our fellow nymphs, ye light Oreades, Saint Hellen's wondrous way, and Herbert's let us go, And our divided rocks with admiration lhow.' Not meaning there to end, but fpeaking as they were, A fuddain fearful noife furprifed every car. The water-nymphs (not far) Lin toged that frequent, With brows bcfmear'd with ooze, their locks with dew be fprenr, Inhabiting the lake, in fedor gy bow' rs below, Their inward grounded grief that only fought to fhow Againft the mountain kind, which much on them did take, Above their watry brood, thus proudly them befpake; Tell us, ye haughty hills, why vainly thus you threat Efteeming us fo mean, compar'd to you (0 great To make you know your felves, you this mul't underltand, That our great maker laid the furface of the land As level as the lake until the general flood, When over all fo long the troubled wate1s flood 'which, hurried with the blafts from angry heaven that blew, Up on huge maffy heaps the loofened gravel threw From hence we would ye know, your firft beginning came.

Book excerpt: Michael Drayton was born in 1563 at Hartshill, near Nuneaton, Warwickshire, England. The facts of his early life remain unknown. Drayton first published, in 1590, a volume of spiritual poems; The Harmony of the Church. Ironically the Archbishop of Canterbury seized almost the entire edition and had it destroyed. In 1593 he published Idea: The Shepherd's Garland, 9 pastorals celebrating his own love-sorrows under the poetic name of Rowland. This was later expanded to a 64 sonnet cycle. With the publication of The Legend of Piers Gaveston, Matilda and Mortimeriados, later enlarged and re-published, in 1603, under the title of The Barons' Wars. His career began to gather interest and attention. In 1596, The Legend of Robert, Duke of Normandy, another historical poem was published, followed in 1597 by England's Heroical Epistles, a series of historical studies, in imitation of those of Ovid. Written in the heroic couplet, they contain some of his finest writing. Like other poets of his era, Drayton wrote for the theatre; but unlike Shakespeare, Jonson, or Samuel Daniel, he invested little of his art in the genre. Between 1597 and 1602, Drayton was a member of the stable of playwrights who worked for Philip Henslowe. Henslowe's Diary links Drayton's name with 23 plays from that period, and, for all but one unfinished work, in collaboration with others such as Thomas Dekker, Anthony Munday, and Henry Chettle. Only one play has survived; Part 1 of Sir John Oldcastle, which Drayton wrote with Munday, Robert Wilson, and Richard Hathwaye but little of Drayton can be seen in its pages. By this time, as a poet, Drayton was well received and admired at the Court of Elizabeth 1st. If he hoped to continue that admiration with the accession of James 1st he thought wrong. In 1603, he addressed a poem of compliment to James I, but it was ridiculed, and his services rudely rejected. In 1605 Drayton reprinted his most important works; the historical poems and the Idea. Also published was a fantastic satire called The Man in the Moon and, for the for the first time the famous Ballad of Agincourt. Since 1598 he had worked on Poly-Olbion, a work to celebrate all the points of topographical or antiquarian interest in Great Britain. Eighteen books in total, the first were published in 1614 and the last in 1622. In 1627 he published another of his miscellaneous volumes. In it Drayton printed The Battle of Agincourt (an historical poem but not to be confused with his ballad on the same subject), The Miseries of Queen Margaret, and the acclaimed Nimphidia, the Court of Faery, as well as several other important pieces. Drayton last published in 1630 with The Muses' Elizium. Michael Drayton died in London on December 23rd, 1631. He was buried in Westminster Abbey, in Poets' Corner. A monument was placed there with memorial lines attributed to Ben Jonson.
