Excerpt from Hours With the Muses IT is a source of great gratification to the Author of this volume, that it has now reached a Sixth Edition. It was at first put forth with fear and trembling, yet not without hope; but the favour with which it has been received, has exceeded the writer's most sanguine dreams. It has found its way to the drawing room of the merchant, as well as to the humbler fireside of the labouring man. That it has shed some kindly influence wherever it has passed, is the author's sincere and earnest hope; and the knowledge that it had done so, would be his richest and highest reward. He is not by any means vain enough to suppose that the success of these efin sions is owing to their merits as compositions, but rather to that spirit of hope, peace, and conciliation, which he conscientiously endeavoured to infuse into them. Hoping that the few original poems added in this edition, may be found acceptable, he subscribes himself the reader's grateful servant, the author.

Excerpt from A Book of Cambridge Verse Nevertheless, after all deductions have been made, how much true poetry is yet left! He must be hard to please who cannot find intense enjoyment in the Eclogues of Phineas Fletcher, in Cowley's epitaph on Harvey, in the Miltonic stanzas of Gray's Installation Ode, in a score of other pieces, grave, quaint, or classical in their allusive ness of phrasing. Especially grateful must we be to the number of poets, of exquisite feeling and easy mastery of form, who during the last fifty or sixty years have enriched the language with delicate and elegant verse, from which it has been only too difficult to choose because its quantity is so great and its merit so even. Of this we trust we have given a tolerably adequate selection but it would have been easy to multiply it fourfold.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK

Excerpt from The Delights of the Muses: Secular Poems The present book omits the Latin and Greek pieces contained in the edition of 1648, but otherwise it is a careful reprint, in modernized spelling, of that rare little tome, a copy of which is in the editor's collection. We would now, in conclusion, speak of our humble little labour in endeavouring to Show Crashaw as a quoted and quotable bard. The collection may be a revelation to many who have rarely seen the Poet quoted, save in that epigram on the miracle at Cana in Galilee. We make no apology for this part of our volume, for we think it needs none. Jewels five words long -to quote our late Laureate - are always precious, and should be doubly so from an inheritor of unfulfilled renown, as we contend Crashaw to be. The nominal price put upon this small edition will, we trust, have its due effect in making these poems known to the lover of our choice old poetry, and possibly create a desire for a larger measure of music from the same poetic store.

Excerpt from Among the Muses Why should a book go about apologizing or seeking some excuse to offer in extenuation for having been brought into existence, any more than an individual? A greater power or a higher cumulative force than either brought each upon the stage of being.
