Once considered the epitome of his era's wit the author of "The Mistress" verses in honor of love and various women included in this volume suffered a notable decline in popularity in subsequent years prompting Pope's musing "Who now reads Cowley . . . but still I love the language of his heart."

Subsequent printings as here appearing after the Restoration would include his 'A Discourse by way of Vision Concerning the Government of Oliver Cromwell' a meditation spurred by the death of the reviled Protector. .

168122534<p><strong>1681 Abraham Cowley English Poetry Mistress Motto Pindar Ode Davideis FOLIO</strong></p><p><em>"What shall I do to be for ever known</em></p><p><em>And make the Age to come own"</em></p><p><em>I shall like beasts or common people die </em></p><p><em> Unless you write my elegy." </em>– Abraham Cowley <em>The Motto</em></p><p>Abraham Cowley was one of the leading English poets during the 17th-century. This charming and rare sixth edition was the last edition of the original one volume printing. Following this edition the works were printed in multiple volumes. Famous poems such as '<em>The Motto</em>' '<em>The Mistress</em>' '<em>Ode to Pindar</em>' and '<em>Davideis'</em> are all included in this collection. The Pindaric Ode is especially interesting in that Cowley attempted to reproduce Pindar's works but in doing so he misinterpreted the metrical patterns and in doing so did not accurately reflect Pindar's poetry. He did however create one of the most famous odes ever written which would become the influence for William Wordsworth's famous ode<em> "Intimations of Immortality."</em></p><p>Item number: #22534</p><p>Price: $750</p><p>COWLEY Abraham</p><p><strong><em>The works of Mr. Abraham Cowley: consisting of those which were formerly printed and those which be design'd for the press now published out of the authors original copies.</em></strong></p><p>London: Printed by J.M. for Henry Herringman. 1681-82.</p><p><u>Details</u>:</p><p><!-- if !supportLists-->· <!--endif-->Collation: 2 parts in 1</p><p><!-- if !supportLists-->o <!--endif-->Part I</p><p> <!--endif-->'The Motto' – 42 41 1</p><p> <!--endif-->'The Mistress' – 80</p><p><!-- if !supportLists-->· <!--endif-->Wanting p. 33-36</p><p> <!--endif-->'Pindarique Odes' – 4 70 i.e. 68</p><p>'Davideis' – 154 23 1 148</p><p><!-- if !supportLists-->o <!--endif-->Part II</p><p> <!--endif-->'Constantia and Philetus' – 6 19 1</p><p> <!--endif-->'Piramus and Thisbe' – 21-32</p><p> <!--endif-->'Sylvia' – 33-56</p><p> <!--endif-->'Loves Riddles' – 57-120 2</p><p> <!--endif-->'Naufragium joculare' – 6 129-161 1</p><p><!-- if !supportLists-->· <!--endif-->References: Lowndes 539; Perkin B 7.</p><p><!-- if !supportLists-->· <!--endif-->Language: English</p><p><!-- if !supportLists-->· <!--endif-->Binding: Leather; tight and secure</p><p><!-- if !supportLists-->· <!--endif-->Size: ~11.5in X 8in 29.5cm x 20.5cm</p><p>Our Guarantee:</p><p>Very Fast.

One open tear just touching printed marginal notation small hole affecting two words light and very sparse foxing a touch heavier on a few signatures and some negligible spotting here and there otherwise A VERY CLEAN AND ATTRACTIVE COPY with only the most trivial wear.<br/> <br/> From a distinguished collection in pleasing condition and in a contemporaneous binding this volume contains the works of Abraham Cowley one of the most precocious poets in the annals of English literature. Cowley 1616-67 was producing poetic works of inexplicable sophistication before he had settled into puberty; he published his first volume of verse at 15; and he went on to become one of the most popular poets of his day. Cowley was a staunch royalist who served in the exiled court of Charles I's queen Henrietta Maria where he helped to encode and decipher messages sent between the monarchy's supporters including the royal couple themselves. Despite having been arrested and imprisoned as a royalist agent at one point Cowley escaped the Cromwell years largely unscathed and retired to the countryside in 1663. Upon his death Cowley was not only given the extraordinary honor of burial in Westminster Abbey noted by the DNB as "the most lavish funeral which had ever been given to a mere man of letters in England" but was also afforded a privileged spot next to the graves of Spenser and Chaucer. Cowley's influence on contemporary poetry was demonstrably deep; his funerary monument refers to him as "the English Virgil" and Perkin asserts that his "fame as a poet exceeded even that of Milton" during the waning years of the Restoration. The first part here contains the poet's best-known mature works while the second is composed of his early efforts and the third his writings on plants. Our volume is from the collection of Robert S. Pirie 1934-2015 an extremely successful lawyer and investment banker who amassed the finest library of 16th and 17th century English literature in private hands during his lifetime. In 1984 he was elected one of the 40 members of the Roxburghe Club the world's oldest society of bibliophiles. Our volume has a thrice-distinguished provenance. The first recorded owner is Archibald Philip Primrose 5th Earl of Rosebery 1847-1929 Prime Minister of the United Kingdom during 1894-95. Earlier he had been Foreign Secretary twice as well as Leader of the Opposition. As stated in the British Armorial Bindings database Rosebery was an "ardent and discriminating book collector." Afterwards the present volume became the property of Bombay-born and Cambridge-educated Lawrence Strangman 1907-80 son of Sir Thomas Strangman Q.C. and Lady Winifred Strangman. Much of his celebrated collection went to his alma mater Trinity Hall in the University of Cambridge where it is maintained as the Strangman Collection in Jerwood Library while other portions were handled by Sotheby’s. A captain in WWII Strangman served as a distinguished Intelligence Officer. Our third recorded owner is Robert S. Pirie 1934-2015 an extremely successful lawyer and investment banker who amassed the finest library of 16th and 17th century English literature in private hands during his lifetime. In 1984 he was elected one of the 40 members of the Roxburghe Club the world’s oldest society of bibliophiles. J. M. for Henry Herringman; Mary Clark for Charles Harper unknown
