Excerpt from Elizabethan Critical Essays, Vol. 2: Edited With an IntroductionA poet is as much to say as a maker. And our English name well conformes with the Greeke word, for of weir, to make, they call a maker Pasta. Such as way of resemblance and reuerently) we may say of who 10 wiwewc all the world of nought, nor also by any paterne or mould, as the Platonicks with their Idees do phantastically suppose. Euen so the very Poet makes and contriues out Of his his poeme, not by any forcine copie or example, as doth the tramlator, who therefore may well be sayd a versifier, but not a Poet. The premises considered, it giueth to the name and profession no smal dignitie and prehemi nence, aboue all other artificers, Scientificlte or Mechanical]. 90 And neuerthelesse, without any repugnancie at all, a Poet may in some sort be said a follower or imitator, because he can expresse the true and liuely of every thing is set before him, and which he taketh in hand to describe: and so in that respect is both a maker and a counterfaitor.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
