      Sir Edward Elgar’s music haunts the reeds, the bracken, willows, bluebells, birch and gorse of Malvern’s hills and Severn’s silted shore, the land where it was made and it belongs. And you as well may pluck tunes from the air: you only need to listen

      That wind is from the North, I know it well;No other breeze could have so wild a swell.Now deep and loud it thunders round my cell,Then faintly dies,And softly sighs,And moans and murmurs mournfully.I know its language; thus is speaks to me – ‘I have

      Nicholas Breton

      (1558-1626)

      Thou that wouldst find the habit of true passion,

      And see a mind attired in perfect strains ...

      Look here on Breton's work.--BEN JONSON.

      George Wither

      (1588-1667)

      The praises of poetry have been often sung in ancient and in modern times; strange powers have been ascribed to it of influence over animate and inanimate auditors; its force over fascinated crowds has been acknowledged; but before Wither, no one ever celebrated its power at home, the wealth and the strength which this divine gift confers upon its possessor. Fame, and that too after death, was all which hitherto the poets had promised themselves from this art. It seems to have been left to Wither to discover that poetry was a present possession, as well as a rich reversion, and that the Muse has a promise of both lives,--of this, and of that which was to come.--CHARLES LAMB.

      William Browne

      (1591-? 1645)

      I feel an envious touch,

      And tell thee Swain: that at thy fame I grutch,

      Wishing the Art that makes this Poem shine,

      And this thy Work (wert not thou wrongèd) mine.

      GEORGE WITHER: To the Author

      [of Britannia's Pastorals].

      Prefatory Note

      There are few issues attended with greater uncertainty than the fate of a poet, and of the three represented herein it may be said that they survive but tardily in public interest. Such a state of things, in spite of all pleading, is quite beyond reason; hence the purport of this small Anthology is at once obvious.

      A group of poets graced with rarest charm and linked together by several and varied circumstances, each one figures here in unique evidence
