GIFT OF

MARY E. HAVEN
JULY 2, 1914.

Out of the olde fieldes, as men saithe,
Cometh all this newe corn fro yere to yere ;

And out of olde bookes, in goode faithe,

Cometh all this newe science that men lere.

CHAUCER.

CAMBRIDGE:

E. W. METCALF AND COMPANY,
Printers to the University.

Would I had fallen upon those happier days,
That poets celebrate, those golden times,
And those Arcadian scenes, that Maro sings,
And SIDNEY, warbler of poetic prose.

COWPER.

Nor can the Muse the gallant SIDNEY pass,
The plume of war! with early laurels crown'd,
The lover's myrtle, and the poet's bay.

THOMSON.

Sir PHILIP SIDNEY and Mr. Hooker (in different matters) grew great masters of wit and language, and in whom all vigor of invention and strength of judgment

met.

BEN JONSON.
