Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Tudor and Stuart Love Songs
A glance at the Table of Contents of this volume will show that some of the best poets who were born between the years 1503 and 1679 have handed down to us poetical contributions of this character.
Of the Elizabethan amatory verses only a small portion has been transmitted to us. That poetry which possessed least literary merit did not long survive, and, no doubt, some of considerable merit has been lost too. The best has fortunately been preserved. Selections from these poems arranged in chronological order, appear in this anthology.
