At a Parliament of the — with others gods present [? not mentioned] Jove, Vesta, Juno, Venus, Pallas, Bellona, and Cupid—Rosalin, in the person of Dame Nature, comes to beg assistance. She has established on earth the most perfect Phoenix* that ever existed—a maiden whose personal beauties she describes. Parenthetically, as it " were, p. 5/13, tst. 3, she wishes that Arabian Phoenix," J "love's Lord," would come and take possession of this incomparable beauty. Her fear is that her Phoenix will decay and that no other will arise from her ashes, because " The Arabian fiers are too dull and base To make another spring within her place." — p. 7/15, st. 2. She therefore begs Jove to pity her (Rosalin z=z Nature) and list to her laments. The gods are somewhat startled and incredulous at her wondrous account of her Phoenix, but she confirms her statements by exhibit- ing a picture in which they " behold — The rich wrought Phoenix of Arabian gold." p. 8/i6, st. 3. Jove thereupon bids Nature -hie thee, get thee Phoebus chaire Cut through the skie, and leaue Arabia, * Phoenix No. r, female. t : is the number at the of the S/13 5 top page ; 13, that at its foot.

These shall direct him to this Phoenix bed Wliere on a high hill he this bird shall meet And of their Ashes by my dome shall rise Another Phoenix J her to equalize."—p. 12/20, st. 2, " This said the Gods and Goddesses did applaud The censure of this thundring Magistrate And Nature gave him euerlasting laud And quickly in the dayes bright coach she gate Downe to the earth, she's whirled through the ayre; Joue joyne these fires, thus Venus made her prayer." p. 12/20, St. 3. Then follows "An Introduction to the Prayer" addressed to the "great Guider of the Sunne and Moone" craving guidance and tlie blotting out of offences, and " Then arm'd with thy protection and thy loue lie make my prayer for thy Turtle-doue." Qy. is this introductory prayer, and the prayer proper which Peece so of = place ; used by Stowe, London, and frequently by Fenton in his translation of Guiciardini's History of Italy, 1599. t Phcenix No. 3, female. Phoenix % No. 4, female. See Chester's "Conclusion," p. 133/141. Tlie Argument. ii* follows, made by Venus, or is Venus' s prayer confined to the four words quoted above: — "Joue joyne these fires" ? In either case the Turtle-dove here mentioned is Dame Nature's (Rosalin's) ' • Phoenix, No, i. Then follows the prayer : "A Prayer made for the prosperitie of a siluer coloured Doue, applyed to the beauteous Phoenix." This prayer is addressed to Jehova, Christ, the God of Israel, in favour of "the siluer coloured earthly Doue,"— "thy siluer Doue," /, e., of course, the Phoenix, and ends with " Let her not wither Lord without increase But blesse her with joyes offspring of sweet peace. Amen. Amen." —p. 15/23, st. 2. This prayer certainly proceeds from the same person as the introductory petition. The author himself now addresses three stanzas to readers of "light beleefe," claiming their indulgence. Then follows, p. 16/24, "A meeting Dialogue-wise betweene Nature, the Phoenix, and the Turtle Doue." The last of these three personages of the Allegory does not appear on the scene till p. 1 23/131. Nature arrives in her chariot and greets the Phoenix. It is not very clear where this meeting takes place. It is a place where "gross cloudie vapours" prevail (p. 18/26, st. 5); the air is st. It is "noysome" (p. 20/28, 2). a " barren country. It is so saplesse that the very Spring Makes tender new-growne Plants be with'ring." p. 21/29, St. 4. " The noisome Aire is growne infectious, The very springs for want of moisture die. The glorious Sunne is here pestiferous," etc., etc. p. 22/30, St. I. Here the Phoenix has long suftered from the power of Envie =: she — Malice ; here, says, " with Adders was I stuno:. And in a lothsome pit was often fluni. * 12 The Aro;ument.&' My Beautie and my Vertues captiuate To Loue, dissembling Loue that I did hate." p. 22/30, St. 3. She complains of Fortune— " That she should place me in a desart Plaine, And send forth Enuie with a ludas kisse To sting me with a Scorpions poisoned hisse. From my first birth-right for to plant me heare, Where I haue alwaies fed on Griefe and Feare." p.

    Notes Quotations from Love’s Martyr and the Diverse Poetical Essays are from the first edition of 1601. (I have modernized these titles in the text.) Otherwise, Shakespeare is quoted from The Riverside Shakespeare, ed. G. Blakemore Evans, 2nd edn (Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 1997). Jonson, unless otherwise noted, is quoted from Ben Jonson, ed. C. H. Herford and Percy and Evelyn Simpson, 11 vols (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1925–52), and Edmund Spenser from The Works of Edmund Spenser: A Variorum Edition, ed. Edwin Greenlaw, Charles Osgood and Fredrick Padelford, 10 vols (Baltimore: The Johns Hopkins University Press, 1932–57). Introduction 1.

I admire the efforts of recent editors to alert readers to the fact that all titles imposed on it are artificial, but there are several reasons why I reluctantly refer to it as ‘The Phoenix and Turtle’. Colin Burrow, in The Complete Sonnets and Poems (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2002), chooses to name it after its first line, the rather inelegant ‘Let the bird of lowdest lay’, which, out of context, to my ear sounds more silly than solemn.

  • What Did John Marston Know About Shakespeare?

    What Did John Marston Know About Shakespeare?

    i&notD about ^Ij^feegpeare? Patrick ^uckrtbge John Marston has been a shadowy but persistent presence in heterodox discussions ofthe Shakespeare autiiorship since the nineteenth century. It is hardly surprising that he should have something to offer to an investi­ gation of concealed Uterary and theafrical identities in London in the 1590s: he was living and working in the Inns of Court and around the theattes from about 1594, when he matticulated from Brasenose College, Oxford University, until 1606, when he left the Middle Temple. A cursory glance at Marston's poems and plays reveals an oddly persistent preoccupation with that popular but enigmatic body of work coming to be known as 'Shakespeare' through the 1590s, the most striking being The Metamorphosis ofPigmalion 's Image, his parody/pastiche ofVenus and Ado­ nis, and the links and parallels in character, situation and dialogue between Hamlet and Antonio's Revenge. Other tum-of-the-century plays of Marston' s —Antonio and Mellida, What You Will, The Dutch Courtesan, and The Malcontent—appear to exhibit a more generally ironic relationship to certain Shakespearean plays, such as Romeo and Juliet, Twelfth Night, Much Ado About Nothing, and Measure for Measure. As the author of two volumes of verse satires, Marston took a 'profes­ sional' interest in duplicity, hypocrisy, and imposture, ttaditional satiric targets that he would have seen as notably instantiated in the use of 'front-men' or 'stooges' for aristocratic writers. There are a few passages in the satires where he could be referring to such a practice: the allusion to those who ..
  • Why Was Edward De Vere Defamed on Stage—And His Death Unnoticed?

    Why Was Edward De Vere Defamed on Stage—And His Death Unnoticed?

    Why Was Edward de Vere Defamed on Stage—and His Death Unnoticed? by Katherine Chiljan dward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford, died on June 24, 1604. To our knowledge, there was neither public recognition of his death nor Enotice made in personal letters or diaries. His funeral, if one oc- curred, went unremarked. Putting aside his greatness as the poet-playwright “William Shakespeare,” his pen name, Oxford was one of the most senior nobles in the land and the Lord Great Chamberlain of England. During his life, numerous authors dedicated 27 books on diverse subjects to Oxford; of these authors, seven were still alive at the time of his death,1 including John Lyly and Anthony Munday, his former secretaries who were also dramatists. Moreover, despite the various scandals that touched him, Oxford remained an important courtier throughout his life: Queen Elizabeth granted him a £1,000 annuity in 1586 for no stated reason—an extraordinary gesture for the frugal monarch—and King James continued this annuity after he ascend- ed the throne in 1603. Why, then, the silence after Oxford had died? Could the answer be because he was a poet and playwright? Although such activity was considered a déclassé or even fantastical hobby for a nobleman, recognition after death would have been socially acceptable. For example, the courtier poet Sir Philip Sidney (d. 1586) had no creative works published in his lifetime, but his pastoral novel, Arcadia, was published four years after his death, with Sidney’s full name on the title page. Three years after that, Sidney’s sister, the Countess of Pembroke, published her own version of it.

  • Introduction

    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-85551-8 - The Poems: Venus and Adonis, the Rape of Lucrece, the Phoenix and the Turtle, the Passionate Pilgrim, a Lover's Complaint: Updated Edition Edited by John Roe Excerpt More information INTRODUCTION This edition contains the following works of poetry: Venus and Adonis, The Rape of Lucrece, The Phoenix and the Turtle, The Passionate Pilgrim, and A Lover’s Complaint. In the early 1590s Shakespeare may have felt that he was destined for a career as a poet rather than in the theatre. His two big narrative poems, written within a year of one another in 1593 and 1594, both carry fulsome dedications to the Earl of Southampton. These are the only two works Shakespeare is known to have dedicated to anyone. Securing the patronage of a rich and influential nobleman would have seemed the obvious and most direct way to preferment, and the evidence suggests that this is what he was bent on doing. Yet in the middle of the decade, following the reopening of the theatres after their closure because of the plague, his stage-writing gathered fresh impetus, and he never again wrote narrative poems of the length or ambition of Venus and Adonis and The Rape of Lucrece. At the same time as he was writing Venus and Adonis he began his sonnet sequence, which was not, however, published until 1609. (The scope and ramifications of the Sonnets warrant a separate editorial volume.) Eagerness on the part of contempo- rary readers to encounter them (we know from Francis Meres’s 1598 remark about the ‘sugred Sonnets’ that they were circulating in manuscript) may well have occa- sioned the publication of an odd collection calling itself The Passionate Pilgrim in 1599, reprinted with additions in 1612.
