POETRY BOOK

EXTRACT FROM PREFACE

THIS third volume of my poetical series is intended primarily for the Upper
Forms of High Schools; but I hope it may prove useful to students who
have left school, and are now reading for themselves. I have assumed
that, in either case, the masterpieces of English Literature will be read
independently, and have included no extracts from the Plays of Shakspeare,
the Canterbury Tales, Paradise Lost, or the first two books of the Faery
Queene. Poems from Spenser onwards I have, with some reluctance, given
in modern spelling; chiefly because it seemed unreasonable to do for the

contemporaries and successors of Shakspeare what no one does for
Shakspeare himself. But earlier poems, Scottish Poems, and those written
in dialect, I have given as they stand, confident that my readers will find
them very well worth the trouble of mastering.

In this last volume I have allowed myself somewhat more freedom of
choice, as regards both subject and language, than in the earlier ones.
Every piece, however, has been carefully selected, and some omissions
necessarily made. Where these are small, I have not in all cases called
attention to them; where they are large, I have described the piece as an

extract.

I need scarcely say that I have made no attempt to secure anything like a
consensus of opinion or sentiment. These will differ in Poems as in people,
and we must all learn to make allowance for such differences, and to
recognise the common inspiration that underlies them.
