Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Book of Seventeenth Century Lyrics: Selected and Edited With an Introduction The poems in this book have been selected, not only from the works of the individual poets represented, but from con temporary poetical miscellanies and from the incidental lyr ical verse contained in dramas, romances, and other works of the time. Care has been taken to make the text as correct as possible by a collation with authoritative sources; and, wherever necessary, the sources of preferred readings will be found mentioned in the Notes. In the Introduction an attempt has been made to trace the course of English lyrical poetry during the period, to explain its relations to the pre vious age, and to trace the influences which determined its development and its final change of character. It is hoped that the Notes and Indexes may furnish the reader with such help as he may reasonably demand, and encourage the stu dent to a deeper study of a rich and interesting period in one of its most distinctive forms of artistic expression.
