Riassunto

Excerpt from The Minstrel, or the Progress of Genius: In Two Books; With Some Other Poems

I have endeavour'ed to imitate spenser in the mea~ sure of his verse, and in the harmony, simplicity, and variety, of his composition. Antique expressions I have avoided; admitting, however, some old words, where they seemed to suit the subject: but I hope none will be found that are now obsolete, or in any degree not intelligible to a reader of English poetry.
