Book Description
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1602 edition. Excerpt: ... fewest wordes, The Turtles cannot sing, and yet they loue: True harts haue eyes, & eares, no tongs to speake, They heare, & fee, and sigh, and then they breake. Ineerto. An An/were to the first Staffe, that Loue is vnlike in Beggers and in Kings. Compare the Bramble with the Cedar tree, The Pifmyres anger which the Lyons rage: What is the Buzzing flie where Eagles bee? A drop the sparke, no feas can Aetna fwage. Small is the heat in Beggers brests that springs, But flaming fire confumes the hearts of Kings. Who shrouds himfelf where flender hairs cast shade: But mighty Oakes may fcorne the Summer Sun: Smal cure wil ferue, wher Bees the woud haue made But Dragons poyfon through each part doth run: Light is the loue that Beggers bofome stings, Deepe is the wound that Cupid makes in Kings. Smal channels ferue, where shallow springs do flide, And little helpe will turne or stay their courfe: The highest banks fcarce holde the fwelling tide, Which ouer-throwes all stops with raging force: The bafer fort fcarce wett them in the springs, Which ouer-whelme the heads of mighty kings, What though in both the hart bee fet of Loue? The felf fame ground both corne and cockle breeds Fast by the Bryer, the Pine-tree mounts aboue, One kinde of grasse, the lade and Iennet feedes: So from the heart, by fecret virtue springs, Vnlike desire in Beggers and in kings. A nomos. A Song, in praise of a Beggers lise. Bright shines the Sun, play Beggers piay, Here's scraps enough to ferue to day. What noyfe of Vials is fo fweete. As when our merry clappers ring? What mirth doth want where Beggers meete? A Beggers life is for a King. Eate, drinke, and play, sleepe when wee list, Go where wee will, fo stocks be mist. Bright shines, &c. The world...

Book Description
Perhaps more than any other kind of book, manuscript miscellanies require a complex and ’material’ reading strategy. This collection of essays engages the renewed and expanding interest in early modern English miscellanies, anthologies, and other compilations. Manuscript Miscellanies in Early Modern England models and refines the study of these complicated collections. Several of its contributors question and redefine the terms we use to describe miscellanies and anthologies. Two senior scholars correct the misidentification of a scribe and, in so doing, uncover evidence of a Catholic, probably Jesuit, priest and community in a trio of manuscripts. Additional contributors show compilers interpreting, attributing, and arranging texts, as well as passively accepting others’ editorial decisions. While manuscript verse miscellanies remain appropriately central to the collection, several essays also involve print and prose, ranging from letters to sermons and even political prophesies. Using extensive textual and bibliographical evidence, the collection offers stimulating new readings of literature, politics, and religion in the early modern period, and promises to make important interventions in academic studies of the history of the book.
