Book Description
Excerpt from The Poems of William Drummond of Hawthornden, Vol. 2 The Instability of Mortal Glory. Triumphant arches, statues crown'd with bays, Proud obelisks, tombs of the vastest frame, Colosses, brazen Atlases of fame, Fanes vainly builded to vain idols' praise; States, which insatiate minds in blood do raise, From the cross-stars unto the Arctic team, Alas! and what we write to keep our name, Like spiders' cauls are made the sport of days: All only constant is in constant change, What done is, is undone, and when undone, Into some other figure doth it range; Thus moves the restless world beneath the moon: Wherefore, my mind, above time, motion, place, Thee raise, and steps not rteach'd by nature trace. Human Frailty. A Good that never satisfies the mind, A beauty fading like the April flowers, A sweet with floods of gall that runs combin'd, A pleasure passing ere in thought made ours, About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Poems of William Drummond of Hawthornden, Vol. 1 The influence Of Sidney upon Drummond's writings has been scarcely noticed by former editors: it is very marked, nevertheless, and I have pointed out various passages in his poems in which it is unmistakable. And, lastly, our author's Platonism, which I venture to regard as an important feature in his character, is illustrated at some length in the Notes, and in the Introductory Memoir.

Excerpt from The Poems of William Drummond of Hawthornden Until very lately, materials for a Life of the Poet Drummond were singularly scanty; but since the interesting facts which Mr. David Laing of Edin burgh has laid before the antiquaries of that city, from manuscripts in their keeping, a Life of some interest ought to be expected - I can call mine no more than an attempt.
