Book Description
Excerpt from A Book of Cambridge Verse Nevertheless, after all deductions have been made, how much true poetry is yet left! He must be hard to please who cannot find intense enjoyment in the Eclogues of Phineas Fletcher, in Cowley's epitaph on Harvey, in the Miltonic stanzas of Gray's Installation Ode, in a score of other pieces, grave, quaint, or classical in their allusive ness of phrasing. Especially grateful must we be to the number of poets, of exquisite feeling and easy mastery of form, who during the last fifty or sixty years have enriched the language with delicate and elegant verse, from which it has been only too difficult to choose because its quantity is so great and its merit so even. Of this we trust we have given a tolerably adequate selection but it would have been easy to multiply it fourfold.

He was bora on the sixth day of the month that we may understand that this is the Sixth Henry: through whom, as many think, God will work some great thing in accordance with His more seeret prophecies. Or else because it is a toilsome journey to keep the commandments, and this journey is contained in the number six, because in six days all things were made. Furthermore it is to our purpose that he came to us on the feast of S. Nicholas the Confessor.1 The one was remarkable from his infancy in the number of those who devoutly fast; the other neither indulges his appetite nor is overcome by surfeiting and drunkenness. The first was raised against his will to the dignity of the popedom; the other, though placed in the position of king, is as one of the people. For it is good for our lord the king that his beginnings should follow the example of the Saints; and it is meet and proper that his life should be ordered by such exemplars; 1 December 6. A.d. U2i. so that the people seeing it, may give due thanks to God. Nor let it offend my readers that I, a man of so little note, so far exhort my lord to follow the example of the Saints, or that I compare his life with theirs; for Our Saviour in many of his acts bids us be followers of Him. Whence he says, "Learn of me, for I am meek and lowly of heart;"1 and in another place, "I have given you an example, that as I have done, so should you do also." Of the other festivals which fall in this month let us think no more than this, that our king should honour them with a certain chief and special devotion as being near his entrance into the world, that when he shall leave this world he may...
