/ The Poet Whose Badness Saved His Life   \
|                                         |
| The most important poet in the          |
| seventeenth century was George Wither.  |
| Alexander Pope called him "wretched     |
| Wither" and Dryden said of his verse    |
| that "if they rhymed and rattled all    |
| was well".                              |
|                                         |
| In our own time, "The Dictionary of     |
| National Biography" notes that his work |
| "is mainly remarkable for its mass,     |
| fluidity and flatness. It usually lacks |
| any genuine literary quality and often  |
| sinks into imbecile doggerel".          |
|                                         |
| High praise, indeed, and it may tempt   |
| you to savour a typically rewarding     |
| stanza: It is taken from "I loved a     |
| lass" and is concerned with the higher  |
| emotions.                               |
|                                         |
| She would me "Honey" call,              |
|                                         |
| She'd -- O she'd kiss me too.           |
|                                         |
| But now alas! She's left me             |
|                                         |
| Falero, lero, loo.                      |
|                                         |
| Among other details of his mistress     |
| which he chose to immortalize was her   |
| prudent choice of footwear.             |
|                                         |
| The fives did fit her shoe.             |
|                                         |
| In 1639 the great poet's life was       |
| endangered after his capture by the     |
| Royalists during the English Civil War. |
| When Sir John Denham, the Royalist      |
| poet, heard of Wither's imminent        |
| execution, he went to the King and      |
| begged that his life be spared. When    |
| asked his reason, Sir John replied,     |
| "Because that so long as Wither lived,  |
| Denham would not be accounted the worst |
| poet in England."                       |
|                                         |
