Excerpt from Cavalier and Courtier Lyrists: An Anthology of 17th Century Minor VerseUpon 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.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
