Ten suggestions I'd love to see in there: 1. Chidiock Tichborne, Lament 2. Walter Raleigh, "The Lie" 3. Anon?Dowland? "Have you seen but a white lily grow?" 4. Edward Dyer, "My Mind to me a Kingdom is" 5. Anon. (from The Court of Venus), "Disdain me not without desert" 6. Wm Elderton, "The true form and shape of a monsterous child born in Stony StratfordŠthe year of our Lord 1565" (delicious 3-stanza broadside on ?Siamese twins) 7. Samuel Daniel, "Beauty, sweet love" (Delia # 50) 8. Francis Quarles, "I am my Beloved's" 9. Henry Vaughan, "The Retreat" or "Peace" 10. George Peele, "His golden locks Time hath to silver turned" Roger Kuin >May I ask for some ideas even if they are only marginally Spenserian or >Sidneyan? As Joe Black knows, I'm on the advisory board (as is he) of a >projected anthology to be published by Broadview Press--the aim is to give >Norton and Longmans et al. a run for their money. What we are missing from >the Renaissance part is a small collection (oh say 20) poems by the >unfamous. Not, in other words, Skelton, Wyatt, Surrey, Sidney (Philip and >Mary), Shakespeare, Spenser, Donne, Herbert, Wroth, Lanyer, Herrick. If >you have any suggestions, favorites, requests I'd love to have them, >off-list or on. From c. 1500 to c. 1630. Not an emergency--just if you >have time and inclination. Thanks. Anne Prescott
