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.

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.

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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Cavalier: An Historical Novel I remember quite well the time when long and minute descriptions of scenery, costume, armor, per sonal appearance - ay, and even character - were highly palatable to the reader. The exquisite pic tures afi'orded by the poems and romances of Sir Walter Scott were the delight of intelligent minds. Men felt in reading them as if they were gazing at the glorious handiwork of a Claude or Poussin; but we have changed all that; we hear from the lips of every little critic deep condemnations of long and wearisome descriptions; and every sort of stimulant, from blood and thunder to philosophical infidelity, is required to excite the public taste. Fifty thousand throats cut in one chapter, five or six thousand young ladies seduced by one villain, with a reasonable ad mixture of gambling, swindling, drinking, and lying, form the best sauce to any story that can be told, and although every now and then a work appears.
