Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Miscellaneous Works of John Dryden, Esq., Vol. 3 of 4: Containing All His Original Poems, Tales, and Translations, Now First Collected With Explanatory Notes and Observations Also an Account of His Life and Writings My Lord, Anno 1699. Some estates are held in England, by paying a fine at the change of every lord: I have enjoyed the patronage of your family, from the time of your excellent grandfather to this present day. I have dedicated the translation of the lives of Plutarch to the first Duke; and have celebrated the memory of your heroic father. Though I am very short of the age of Nestor, yet I have lived to a third generation of your house; and by your Grace´s favour am admitted still to hold from you by the same tenure. I am not vain enough to boast that I have deserved the value of so illustrious a line; but my fortune is the greater, that for three descents they have been pleased to distinguish my poems from those of other men; and have accordingly made me their peculiar care. May it be permitted me to say, That as your grandfather and father were cherished and adorned with honours by two successive monarchs, so I have been esteemed and patronized by the grandfather, the father, and the son, descended from one of the most ancient, most conspicuous, and most deserving families in Europe.
