But if my stamm'ring tongue forget its theme, And fault'ring words, consus'd, should intervene; E'en then, surrounding friends shall thankful fee His boundless goodness manifest in me; A Will Resign'd shall speak his love the fame, And silent eloquence his praise proclaim. In patient hope, my soul shall passive lay, Nor wish to leave its now incumber'd clay: And when insatiate death approaches near, This tim'rous heart shall then forget to fear; Shall flap the wing, to find its passage free, And soar aloft to dwell, great God, with thee?, THOUGHTS THOUGHTS ON PSALM Lxxiii. xxtv, FROM HUGO. WHOM HAVE I IN HEAVEN BUT THEE t AND THERE IS HOKt UPON EARTH THAT I DESIRE IN COMPARISON OF THEE. WHAT shall I seek, greatGod, in heaven above, Or earth, or sea, whereon to fix my love i Tho' I should ransack heaven, and earth, and sea, Their worth is nothing if depriv'd of thee. I know what mighty joys in heaven abound, What treasures in the earth and sea are found; Yet without thee, my love! t' enrich their store, Their boasted glories are but mean and poor. O heaven! O earth! O vast capacious main! Three famous realms where wealth and plenty reign I Tho' in one heap your triple pleasures lay, They were no pleasures, were my Lord away. My thoughts, I own, have often rang'd the deep, Search'd earth and heaven, and in no bounds would But when they wander'd the creation round, keep; No equal object in the whole they found. Sometimes I thought to rip the pregnant earth, And give its rich and long-born burthen birth; Gold, silver, brass, feeds of the shining vein, And each bright product of the fertile mine: But what...

More than fifty specialists have contributed to this new edition of volume 2 of The Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature. The design of the original work has established itself so firmly as a workable solution to the immense problems of analysis, articulation and coordination that it has been retained in all its essentials for the new edition. The task of the new contributors has been to revise and integrate the lists of 1940 and 1957, to add materials of the following decade, to correct and refine the bibliographical details already available, and to re-shape the whole according to a new series of conventions devised to give greater clarity and consistency to the entries.

This book is a critical study of the ancestors of contemporary poetry anthologies: the poetic miscellanies of the late seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. It argues that miscellanies are a distinctive kind of literary collection and that their popularity in the period 1680–1800 had a far-reaching impact on authors, publishers, and readers of poetry. This study expands the definition of miscellanies to include single-author collections called miscellanies as well as the multiple-author collections that have traditionally been the focus of scholarly attention. It shows how multiple-author miscellanies fostered different kinds of literary community and explores the neglected role of single-author miscellanies in the self-fashioning of eighteenth-century writers. Later chapters examine miscellanies’ relationships with periodicals, their contribution to the formation of the literary canon, and their reception and transformation in the hands of readers. The book draws on newly available digital data as well as evidence from hundreds of printed miscellanies to shed new light on how poetry was written, published, and read in the long eighteenth century.
