Book excerpt: Excerpt from Early English Poetry, Ballads, and Popular Literature of the Middle Ages, Vol. 20 Encomium of Lady Pecunia, or the Praise of Money, a curious manuscript in the Ashmolean Museum, and likewise printed in the author's life-time. It Should be mentioned that in the original copies of the following tract are a few hexameter verses on the Rape of Helen, which have been omitted as of an inferior kind to the other part of the work, and for still more obvious reasons. The Affectionate Shepherd itself will be found remarkably free from the coarseness which disfigures so much of the Elizabethan lite rature, - an additional inducement, if any were necessary, for rescuing it from the liability to destruction which is of course incident to any book of such excessive rarity. Our thanks are due to the Rev. H. Christmas, Librarian of Sion College, for the courtesy and liberality with which he permitted our transcript to be made from a volume of tracts possessing the greatest charm for the bibliographer; for besides the present one, it contains the first edition of Shakespeare's Lucrece, and several other pieces of nearly equal value, in the finest possible condition.

When the fire giveth much flame, or else when a man taketh an hasten, and lifteth it up by the coals, and if the coals do hang thereon, that betokeneth wind and rain. "When the cold in the winter ceaseth, And when a man snow findeth, If there be dark clouds thereby, Then look for rain verily: If the frog in the morning do cry, Betokeneth rain great plenty."

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Early English Poetry, Ballads, Vol. 30: And Popular Literature of the Middle Ages When Bishop Percy's work, the Reliques of Ancient English Poetry, issued from the press, the poetry of our country was in a very weak and languishing condition; for whilst the only poetry read and appreciated by the learned of the day, was that of the philosophic school, the taste of the masses was of a still more debased character, as amongst them nothing was popular but sickly and unnatural pastorals: and thus, between a very questionable philosophy of pantheistic tendency on the one hand, and a mock arcadianism, with its accompaniment of Damons, and Delias, and Strephons, and sheep and brooks and crooks, on the other, nature and truth were lost sight of, and the inspiration of the bard had well nigh become a thing unknown.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Early English Poetry, Ballads, and Popular Literature of the Middle Ages, Vol. 3: Edited From Original Manuscripts and Scarce Publications The second portion of these ballads relates to a posture of affairs which in many respects bore a close resemblance to the former. The powerful hand of Cromwell no longer kept in control the rage of partyism; his son Richard had been obliged to retire from the scene and the contend ing parties in the restored Commonwealth made room for the renewed intrigues of the royalists. Instead of a king at home and in captivity, there was one free, but in a foreign land. Most of the skilful hands who had guided the vessel of the state through so many troubles, were departed and the man who became suddenly master by the chances of the moment, conscious of his own incapacity, and unable to foresee the future, be trayed the cause which he pretended to support, to secure his own personal impunity. The couse quence was, after twenty-eight years of misgovern ment, the more effectual, though less bloody, revolution of eighty-eight.

The originals were formerly in the possession of the late Thomas Caldecott, Esq. whose matchless collection of early English poetry was well known to the lovers of this species of literature. Sir George H. Freeling; was favoured by the loan of them when in that gentleman's possession, and from his accurate transcripts the present reprints have been made. John Butler, the printer of the "Doctrinall of good Servauntes," is stated, upon the authority of Ames, to have been a judge of the Common pleas as well as a printer. "The only book we have yet found with his name," says Dr. Dibdin, (Typographical Antiquities iii. 173), is the following: "Parvulorum Institutio ex Stanbrigiana Collectione," 4to.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Early English Poetry, Ballads, and Popular Literature of the Middle Ages, Vol. 12: Edited From Original Manuscripts and Scarce Publications In the present edition, care has been taken, by the modification of some few words and sentences, which are as little essential to the conduct of the story, as consonant to our present notions of pro priety, to lay before the members of the Percy Society a volume which may be perused, it is hoped, with pleasure, certainly without offence. How few and triﬂing have been the liberties necessary to produce this desirable result, I leave the curious enquirer to ascertain by comparing this reprint with Oaxton's own edition: while to those who complain that such alterations or omissions destroy the value of the book, I reply, by denying that such is the case, and by answering that even if it were so, I am prepared to adopt the declara tion of Dr. Johnson that there are laws of higher authority than those of criticism. Would that I could defend my introduction andnotes as confidently, as I can the reprint which they accompany. But I am too well aware of the errors of omission and commission which may be found in them, not to entertain some anxiety as to the feeling with which my slight illustrations of Caxton's language, and his allusions to the manners and custom of the olden times, may be received by those who are better skilled than my self in those branches of archaeological study.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Early English Poetry, Ballads, Vol. 14: And Popular Literature of the Middle Ages Among the capellani of the quiet monastery of Haghmon, at the commencement of the fifteenth century, lived one, a truly penitent and righteous monk, who atoned for the excesses of his early life by the devotion of an enthusiast, and called the priesthood to their duty by the voice of litera ture, even during the amictions of the blind and the deaf. He was no Lollard. A pious priest, denouncing the opinions of Wickliffe, teaching that dissent and heresy would assuredly lead to damna tion, he was yet well aware that the return of the leaders of his religion to their early discipline, was the only chance left for restoring orthodoxy. His name was John Audelay, or Awdlay, as the name is spelt different ways in the same manuscript. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
