Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Selection From the Minor Poems of Dan John Lydgate Dan john lydgate, monk of Bury St. Edmund's, the immediate follower of Geofi'ry Chaucer, was one of the most prolific writers this country has ever produced. Ritson, in his Bibliographia Poetica, enumerates no less a number than two hundred and fifty-one pieces which acknowledge him for their author; and this list is far from being complete. To furnish, indeed, a correct catalogue of all his works would require more time than the editor of the present volume has had at his disposal, and he therefore contents himself with referring to Ritson's useful little work, and to Warton's History of English Poetry, for particulars concerning the life and writings of our author.
