SACRED POEMS AND PIOUS EJACULATIONS. BY HENRY VAUGHAN, "SILURIST." WITH A MEMOIR BY THE REV. H. F. LYTE. JOB XXXV. 10, 11. Where is God my Maker, who giveth Songs in the night? Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and maketh LONDON: GEORGE BELL AND SONS, YORK STREET, COVENT GARDEN. 1891. OR the present reprint of the Rev. H. F. Lyte's selection from the Poems of Henry Vaughan "the Silurist," the text has been more than once read with the originals; and a few literal errors have in consequence been corrected. Mr. Lyte's modernization of the spelling of a few of the words is retained, as well as his apparently necessary corrections of the press; but in the latter case the added word is either given in brackets or justified by means of a foot-note. The two parts of the Silex Scintillans,' Henry Vaughan's principal work, are given entire. The 'Pious Thoughts and Ejaculations are also given entire, being all the poems under that head-except two or three in Latin-appearing in the very rare1Thalia Rediviva,' and about half the entire contents of that volume. The collection thus comprises the whole of the sacred poems of the author. LONDON, 1882. 1 Very rare because it is thought that the author bought up the copies to suppress it. The copy in the British Museum is believed to be unique. |
