PREFACE.

The two poems now reprinted are chiefly remarkable for their extreme

rarity ; although by an early writer of allegorical verse, who flourished at the commencement of the Sixteenth century, and whose name Is usually regarded as one of the landmarks in the history of English poetry.. Among the successors of Chaucer, Gower, and Lydgate, Hawes and Skeltpn are indeed the only two who are worthy of special notice until we reach the times of Surrey, Sackvllle, and the earlier poets of the Elizabethan period.

Of Stephen Hawes scarcely anything Is known. If we except the fact of his holding a place In the royal household of King Henry the Seventh.

His usual designation Is that of " one of the Grooms of King Henry the Seventh his chamber." In the twenty-first year of his reign, on the 1st of January [1505-6], the English monarch gave Stephen Hawes the reward of ten shillings for a ballad. Bishop Bale, In 1557, has given " Hawes a high character for learning and accomplishments : In- genium ei foellcissimum contigit, et lingua ad omnem dicendi ratlonem accommoda; totaqae ejus vita, ut fertur, quasi virtutis exemplum fult;" and states, that he had pursued his studies in England, Scotland, and France.' , In referring to the education of Hawes at Oxford, repeats this statement, with other particulars, which may best be quoted In his own words :^

" Stephen Hawes, or Hawys, originally descended, as It seems, from the Hawes, of Hawes In the Bushes, in the county of Suff'olk ; was instructed In all such literature as this University could at that time

' Scriptornm Biytannia; Centuria Octava, &c. p. C32, Basilefe, 1557, folio. Hawes is not mentioned in Bale's original work, which appeared in 1548, 4to.

afford, but whether he took a degree, we have no register to shew It. Afterwards, in his travels through England, Scotland, and France, visit- ing the receptacles of good letters, did much advance the foundation of

literature that he had laid in this place ; so that after his return, he being esteemed a complete gentleman, a master of several languages,

especially of the French, and, above all, for his most excellent vein in

poetry, he was received into the court of King Henry Seventh ; who being a great encourager of learning, and a judicious understander of men, was by him made at length one of the grooms of his chamber, and highly esteemed by him for his facetious discourse and prodigious

memory ; which last did evidently appear in this, that he could repeat

by heart most of our English poets ; especially Jo. Lydgate, a monk of Bury, whom he made equal, in some respects, with GefF. Chaucer. He hath transmitted to posterity several books in English, some of which are in verse and some in prose." No collected edition of the poems of Hawes has ever appeared, which

is more remarkable from the high praise awarded to him by Warton and

other writers. In the list of his works. Bale includes Templum Chnjstal-

linum, lib. i. ; and Ames, in his " Typographical Antiquities," mentions

it as having been printed by Wynken de Worde, in the year 1500 " Here bygenneth the temple of Glas, wrote by Stephen Hawes, grome of the chambre to king Henry VII. It contains 27 leaves in octavo." The words in italics are so given by Ames, and indicate that he had supplied them.' No such edition with these words has been discovered

and the poem, which is unquestionably by Lydgate, was first printed bv

Caxton, without date, it is supposed before 1479." Hawes himself, while he repeatedly calls , monk of Bury, his master, in

reciting his chief works, says thus :

and the tyme to passe Of love he made the bryght Temple of Glasse.' " The most important work, or, as Warton calls it, "capital performance

of Hawcs, is, " The Passetyme of Pleasure, or the History of Graunde Amoure and la Bel Puccll." It was written in the year 1506, and seems

to have been first printed in 1509. In a poem by Thomas Feylde, " A lytil treatise called the Contraversy bytwene a Lover and a Jaye," printed by , without a date, but probably before 1530, occurs the following allusion to the author, then deceased, from

which we may infer that he had been cut off in the prime of life :

" Yonge Steuen Hawse, whose soule God pardon, Treated of love so clerkely and well.

To rede his workes is rayne affecc3'on, Wliiche he compyled of La bell Pusell Remembrynge storyes fruytfull and deltetable."

But the words might only allude to Hawes having written such poems in his youth. Warton (who gives an elaborate analysis of Hawes's poem) says,—" It is almost the only effort of imagination and invention which had yet appeared in our poetry since Chaucer. This poem contains no common touches of romantic and allegoric fiction. The personifications are often happily sustained, and Indicate the writer's familiarity with the Provenclal school. The model of his versification and phraseology is that improved harmony of numbers, and facility of diction, with which his predecessor Lydgate adorned our octave stanza. But Hawes has added new graces to Lydgate's manner."' Upon this passage George Ellis remarks,—"It is very doubtful whether every reader will concur in this favourable opinion of Stephen Hawes's merit." ^ The poem itself was popular at the time, and passed through several editions.

An edition printed at London by Wynkyn de Worde, 1509, 4 to, is mentioned in Lowndes's Manual, but no copy Is at present known. The next edition has this title, written In scroll, " Here begynneth the passe tyme of pleasure." At the end of the table we read, " This boke called the Pastyme of pleasure was made and compyled by Stephen Hawes, one of the groomes of the most honourable chamber of our soverayn lord Kyng Henry the Seventh." It contains several woodcuts " which are omitted in the later editions. The colophon runs thus : Here

' History of English Poetry, sect, xxviii.

^ Specimens of the Early English Poets, vol. i., p. 410. endeth the pastyme of pleasure. Imprynted at London in Fletestrete at the sygne of the Sonne by Wynkyn de Worde the yere of our lorde M.CCCCC. & xvij. therd day December," with the woodcut device " W. C." The only copy known, from the Roxburghe and Sykes col- lections, is now in the library of Mr Christie Miller at Britwell House, Buckinghamshire, being one of many fortunate acquisitions made at the dispersion of Mr Heber's hbrary. There are three later editions, under the title of " The Historic of Graunde Amour and la Bell Pucell, called the Pastime of Pleasure," and printed at London by J. Wayland, 1554, by Richard Tottell, 1555, and by John Waley, 1559, all in black letter, 4to. The edition of 1555 was reprinted in the series of publications of the Percy Society, vol. xviii,, edited by Mr Thomas Wright, 1845.

The " Conversyon of Swerers," now reprinted, was also written in the reign of Henry the Seventh. Ames and Herbert quote the title and colophon of an edition printed by Wynkyn de Worde, 1509, 4to, eight leaves. But the only copy known, apparently, of this edition, is defec- tive of the first and last leaves. It passed successively from the libraries of Dr Farmer, the Duke of Roxburghe, and Mr Heber, into that of Mr Miller at Britwell. " Another undescribed edition has this colophon : ^J Thus endeth the conuersyon of swerers made and compyled by Stephan Hawes grome of the chambre of our souereygne lorde kyng Henry the seventh. In- prynted at London by Wyllyam Copland, for Robert Toye. In the yere of our lorde. M.D.LL," 4to, eight leaves. Two copies of sign. B were found pasted as the cover of an old book several years ago. One of these is in my possession ; whether the other is still preserved I am uncertain. A third edition without date, also unknown to Ames, Herbert, and Dibdin, and described " as probably unique," occurred in the sale of

Caldecott's library in 1 833 (No. 642), where it fetched L.8, 8s. As a proof of the present increased value of such books, it may be noticed that this copy was resold among George Daniel's books in 1864, and bought by Mr Lilly, for Henry Huth, Esq., when it produced the large sum of " L.40. It has this imprint : Thus endeth the Conuersyon of swerers made & compyled by Stephen Hawys, grome of the cbambre of our souerayne lorde kynge Henry the seventh. 41 Imprynted at London in fletestrete, at the sygne of saynt Johan euangelyste, by me Johan Butler." 4to, eight leaves.

In the following reprint all these three editions have been employed, the colophon of the original copy being supplied on the authority of Ames, who must have seen a ])erfect copy. There are several minute variations of orthography in these copies, but not of sufficient import- ance to be enumerated.

The next tract, " A Joyfull iMeditacyon," four leaves, 4to, was printed by Wynkyn de Worde, without date, but no doubt at the time of the joy- ful event which it commemorates. King Henry the Seventh died on the 21st of April 1509, and his son and successor, Henry the Eighth, was crowned on the 24th of June that year. The only copy of the original known to exist is among Bishop More's books in the public library of the

University of Cambridge. It is slightly defective, in having a line at the foot of three of the pages cut away in binding. For the transcript of this poem I was indebted to the friendly aid of the Rev. John E. B. Mayor of St John's College, now Librarian of the University, Camb- ridge. On the first page is a rude woodcut, of which no attempt is made to give a facsimile.

How long Hawes may have survived can only be conjectured. The words of Feylde already quoted, " Yonge Stephen Hawes," seem to imply that it was in the prime of life ; if, therefore, we suppose that Hawes was born after the year 1480, and died before 1522, he would not be more than forty years of age. JMr Wright has pointed out an important fact, that " it appears from a book of the expenses of the 12th Henry VIII., among the records in the Rolls House, that the following payment was made to our author on Gth January in that year ; the Play referred to is now perhaps lost." " Item, to Mr Hawse, for his Play, . . . vjli xiijs iiijd."' This notice proves that Hawes was alive in January 1520-21.

' Preface to the Percy Society reprint of " The Pastime of Pleasure," 1815. :

The two following tracts were reprinted a few years ago, with no very de- finite purpose, my chief object being to preserve them from the chance of casual destruction. While preparing a List of the Members and a Cata- logue of the Books issued by the Abbotsfoed Club, during its limited period of existence, it occurred to me that the present little volume, of which the copies still remain in the printer's hands, might be included in that series, as a copy will be furnished to each of the surviving members of the Club.

There are some other poems by Hawes still existing, to which I have

; not had access ' and I may express a hope that some zealous English antiquary, with better opportunities for research than I possess, will per- form for Hawes the same good service which the Rev. Alexander Dyce so successfully accomplished for Skelton, by publishing a collected edi- tion of his writings. A collection of the minor unpublished poems and ballads of Lydgate, is no less a desideratum in old English literature. Hawes, after enumerating his principal works, exclaims

O ! Mayster Lydgate, the most dulcet sprynge Of famous retheryke, with balade ryall, The chefe orygynal of my lernyug.

Sythen the tyme that his lyfe was gone,

In all this realme his pere did not dwell,

Above all other he did so excell.^ DAVID LAmG.
