Excerpt from A Treasury of English Verse God grant me grace my 0 God! Preserve my mother In strength and health for many a year; And, 0! Preserve my father too, And may I pay him reverence due; And may I my best thoughts employ To be my parents' hope and joy; And, 0! Reserve my brothers both From e doin s and from sloth, And may we ways love each other, Our friends, our father, and our mother: And still, 0 Lord, to me impart An innocent and grateful heart, That after my great sleep I may Awake to Thy eternal day!

Excerpt from A Treasury of English Literature But, beyond these aims, it is hoped that the present book may fill a place as an English anthology representing more fully than has yet been attempted in a brief selection, the course of our literature (with the exception of the Drama) from the earliest time to the eighteenth century; and a special feature has been made of Old and Middle English writings before the time of Chaucer. The Treasury forms a complete work in it self and can be used apart from its connexion with the Primer of English Literature. No extracts from the Drama proper have been included, except in one case as an example of Marlowe's mighty line. It seems almost impossible, from the very nature of that form of art, to represent it at all justly in brief passages. Moreover, the work of selection from our dramatic literature is being done by others at the present time, to say nothing of the classic volume of Elizabethan specimens given to us by Charles Lamb. The selections in this Treasury end with the poetry of Burns, though originally it was intended to bring them up to 1832, where the Primer itself ends. It was found, however, that this would make the book too large for its purpose, without adding much to its usefulness, since there are already many good selections from the later authors. The writers included and the order and proportionate importance assigned to them follow, as a rule, the arrangement of the Primer, though now and then an author has been represented who is not named there, or, if named, is only glanced at without distinctive criticism.

Excerpt from A Household Book of English Poetry The first question which I asked myself, when I resumed a purpose long ago entertained, and then for a long while laid aside, of publishing such a selection of English Poetry as the present, was this, namely, whether Mr. Palgrave by his Golden Treasury had not so occupied the ground that there was no place for one who should come after. The selection is one made with so exact an acquaintance with the sources from which such a Trea sury as his should be replenished, with so fine a taste in regard of what should be admitted there, that this was the conclusion to which at the first I was disposed to arrive. But on further consideration I saw reason to change my mind. The volume which I meditated was on so different a scheme and plan from his, that, while no doubt I should sometimes go over ground which he had gone over before, it seemed likely that for the most part our paths would be different, and the poems which I should select not identical with those already chosen by him. This to so great an extent has proved the case, that of more than three hundred pieces which compose this volume, less than sixty have appeared in his. And.

Excerpt from A Treasury of English Literature, Vol. 1: Selected and Arranged With Translations and Glossaries; Origins to Eleventh Century The present volume consists of English prose and verse up to the time of William the Conqueror. Among this early work that of Cynewulf, the most remarkable and individual Old English poet known to us by name, is represented with as much fullness as could be allowed in these limited pages. It may not here be out of place to remind readers of Tenny son's fine rendering of the Battle of Brunanburh, of which poem only a fragment could be given in this book.

Excerpt from The Oxford Treasury of English Literature, Vol. 1: Old English to Jacobean Sackville. But in the first place the early lyrics are difficult to read, and all the best of them have been made accessible in the Oxford Book of English Verse. It has therefore seemed enough for our purpose to select those which most clearly exhibit the different modes of expression and to leave the task of further investigation to the reader. In the second place Grower and Lydgate are absolutely necessary as offsets to Chaucer: and the examples quoted from them have been selected with as much reference to his work as to their own real interest and value. And thirdly, Sackville, needed for a due appreciation of Spenser, deserves full inclusion on his own account, both for the severity of his style and for the special way in which he illustrates the effect of the Italian Renaissance. Indeed we are far more concerned to regret the poets whom we have been obliged to omit than to apologize for any whose writings we have here inserted.

Excerpt from A Treasury of Seventeenth Century English Verse: From the Death of Shakespeare to the Restoration (1616-1660) Waller, Herbert, Marvell and Donne, except for two or three or four poems of each which are as familiar in anthologies as are many of Milton and Herrick. I have therefore excluded from these pages such poems as Go, lovely rose, Tell me not, Sweet, I am unkind, W'hoe'er she be - That not impossible She, Ask me no more, where Jove bestows, Sweet day, so cool, so calm, so bright, They are all gone into the world of light, Well then, I now do plainly see, The Bermudas, and their like. It has been a difficult business, and some readers will think I ought to have omitted more poems than I have, others less. The whole process of collecting these poems has been both a lengthy and a difficult one, and if I have not pleased (to beg the question), it has not been for want of trying. Since, again, this period has not received its fair share of appreciation, I have found it necessary to write short biographical, bibliographical, explanatory and critical notes to its poets and anonymous poems. For the anthologist, I agree, silence is best - where he tramps the turnpike road. Biographical notices of well-known poets I have dispensed with and the others are informal and purely general, except where some interesting or enter taining detail or quotation from Anthony Wood and other biographers called for admission. Spelling is debateable ground, but I have modernized it, except where rhyme or metre said no. I have also refused to spell aorists and past participles without the e - thus damn'd since there is no reason for it at all, and when the ed is an extra syllable, it is indicated ed.' There is no difference in inflection and structure between seventeenth century and modern spelling, and to preserve the former is little else than an external archaism. For the text, I have gone to accredited modern editions of these poets, where they exist; where not. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Golden Treasury of the Best Songs and Lyrical Poems in the English Language This book in its progress has recalled often to my memory a man with whose friendship we were once honoured, to whom no region of English Literature was unfamiliar, and who, whilst rich in all the noble gifts of Nature, was most eminently distinguished by the noblest and the rarest, - just judgment and high hearted patriotism. It would have been hence a peculiar pleasure and pride to dedicate what I have endeavoured to make a true national Anthology of three centuries to Henry Hallam. But he is beyond the reach of any human tokens of love and reverence and I desire therefore to place before it a name united with his by associations which, whilst Poetry retains her hold on the minds of Englishmen, are not likely to be forgotten.

Excerpt from A Concise Treasury of Great Poems English and American: From the Foundations of the English Spirit to the Outstanding Poetry of Our Own Time; With Lives of the Poets and Historical Settings Selected and Integrated If poetry is the most potent of human communications, it should also be the simplest and the most logical expression. It should, some say, require no particular cogitation, no after thoughts, no exercise of the speculative mind. But poetry, being the product of intuition as well as experience, transcends plain statements; it surpasses fact and leaps ahead of logic. Simple arithmetic to the contrary, a poem is not the sum of its parts. A poem is greater than its parts; it is even something beyond its parts. It is prompted by an idea, enhanced by rhyme, pointed by meter, colored by metaphor. This fusion, this enrichment and intensification, has created a new thing: the poem itself, which is beyond analysis - even, at times, beyond logic.
