The object of this Work, which is entirely new,
18 to comprise, within a single volume, a chronolo-
gical series of our classical Poets, from Ben Jonson
to Beattie, without mutilation or abridgement, with
Biographical and Critical notices of their Authors.
The contents of this volume are so comprehensive,
that few poems, it is believed, are omitted, except
such as are of secondary merit, or unsuited to the
perusal of youth. The Work, within these bounds,
may be termed a ^ Library of Classical English
Poetry,'' and may safely be recommended to the
heads of Schools in general, and to the libraries of
Young Persons.

BENJAMIN JONSON.



JDsavAjfnr JoysoK, (or Jbhason,) a po«(^ who,
daring Ule, wttirined a dkcinguished cfaaraetfir, was
the pcthninou* son of a darj^rman in Wcttminater,
â– ihtii be was bom in 1574, about a month after his
Aiber'a decease. His fiunilj was originally fttxn
UroriaiMJ, wbenoe his grandfather reroorad to Car-
fisla, hi the leign of I&nry VIII.

Benjamin reoeiTed his education under the learned
Camden, at Westminster school ; and had made
cxtnordinary pr o gre s s in hb studies, when his mo-
I who had married a bricklayer for her second
\ took him away to work under his step-
Fkom this bumble emjdoyment he escaped,
bj enlisting as a soldier in the army, then senring in
the Netholuids against the Spaniards. An exploit
winch be here perfbnned, of killing an enemy in
aisigle combat, gave him room to boast ever after of
n degree of courage which has not often been found
iQ ainanfr with poetical distinction.

On his return, Jonson entered himself at St.
Jolm'a CoUe^ Gsmbridge, which he was shortly
obliged to quit from the scanty state of his finances.
He then tnmed his thoughts to the stage, and
appBad ftr em|doyment at iSnB theatres; but his
taWnts, as an ador, could only procure ibr him
aihinasBwi at an obscnre playhouse in the subuiba.
Here be had die misfortune to kill a feUow-actor
â– a a ikidy tor which he was thrown into prison.
The slala of mind to which he was here brouebt,
gane Ibe advantage to a Popish priest in convertmg
IJDifto Ibe Catholic fiuth, under whidi religion he
tuliniind Ibr twdre years.

After his libcrstion ftom prison, he married, and
ifptifid in earnest to writing Ibr the stage, in which
ba appaan to have already made seretal attempts.
Wm comedy of ** Every Man in his Humour," the
ftnt of bis acfcnowladged pieces, was perfimned with
» in 1596 ; and henceforth he continued to
a pb^ JMriy, till his time was occupied by
of ^ masques and other enter-
by which the accession of James was
Dryden, in his Essay on Dramatic
Poetry, speaks of him as the ** most learned and
jwftcMMs writer vrfaicfa any theatre ever had," and




gives a particular examination of his << SQent Wo-
man," as a model of perfection. He afte fw aids ,
however, seems to make larve deductions from tUa
commendation. " You sekkan (says Dryden) find
him auiking love in any of his scenes, or endeavour*
ing to move the pasrions ; his genius was too sullen
and saturnine to do it araoefully. Hamour was hia
proper sjphten; and m that he delighted most to
represent medianics." Besides his comedies, Jonson
c oi p os nil two tragedies, Sejanus and Catiline, both
fomied upon ancient models, and full of trans-
lations; Slid neither of them suooessftd. Hbthra-
matic compositions^ however, do not come vrithin
the scope of the present publication.

In 1616, he published a folio volume of his works,
which procured for fahn a grant from his mijesty of
the salary of poeUlaureat for lifo, though he dUd not
take poss es s i on of the post till three years after.
With biffh intellectual endowments, he had many
unamialue traits in his character, having a hi^ de-
gree of pride and sdf-conceit, with a disposition to
abuse and disparsffe every one who incurred his
jealousy or disp l easure. Jonson was reduced
to ne cessito us circumstances in the laUer part of
his lifo, though he obtained from Charles L an ad-
vance of his salary as hnirfeat. He died in 1667, at
the age of 63, bring at that time considered as at the
head of Englidi poetry. He was interred in West-
minster Abbey, where an inscription was placed over
his grave, fomiliarly expresrive of the reputation
he S$d acquired among his countrymen: it was,
<< O rare Ben JoiMon." Six months after hb death,
a collection of poems to his honour, by a number
ofthemostemiiMnt writers and sdiolars in the na-
tion, was publisbed, with thetitlfr of « Jonsonius
Virtus; or the memory of Ben Jonson, rerived by
" lie Musea..''



the Friends of the]

Although, as a general poet^ Jonson for the most
part merits the character of harsh, frigid, and tedious;
there are, however, some strains in which he appears
with singular elegance, and may be placed in com-
petition with some of the most fovoured writers of
thatcbMs.

Oamdcit, most reverend head, to whom I owe

(How nothing *8 that !) to whom mj oountiy owes
The great renown^and name wherewith ihe goes.
Tlian thee the age eeee not that thing more graTe,
More high, more holy, that ihe more would crave.
What namei^ what skill, what ^ith hait thou in

What sigiit in searching the most antique springs !
What weight, and what authority in thy speech !
Mas scarce cftn make that doubt, but thou canst



Pardon ftce truth, and let thy modesty.
Which oooquers all, be once o'er-coine by thee.
Many of thine this better could, than I,
Bat fiir their powers, accq>t my piety.

Earth, let not thy envious shade

Dare itself tointeqxiee; .
Cynthia's shining ori> was made

Heaven to clear, when day did dose ;
Bless us then with wished sight,
Godd e s s excellently bright.

Lay thy bow of peari apart.
And thy crystal-shining quiver ;

Give unto the flying heart
Space to breathe, how short soever :

Thou that mak'st a day of nigh^
