Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Works of Fulke Greville: A Thesis The beginning of the history of Greville´s literary work is in some lines of a Pastoral by Sidney called Dispraise of a Courtly Life, Well was I, while under shade Oaten reedes me musicke made; Striuing with my mates in song, Mixing mirth our songs among. - a marginal note on the manuscript of this poem telling us that the mates referred to are Edward Dyer and Fulke Greville! The poem was probably written at some time during the years 1578 and 1579, when we know that Sidney was chafing bitterly at his enforced idleness at the court. The fraternity of the three young men to which it alludes was probably formed during the years 1568-71, when they were all at college, Sidney and Dyer at Oxford, Greville at Cambridge; and it may be assumed that the writing of verses was one of the amusements with which they adorned their college companionship. But in the years following, their association was principally in foreign travel and diplomacy, and it was not until Sidney began in 1576-7 the life of a courtier, with its quieter intervals of country retirement, that they had leisure to strive with one another in song under the shade of the groves of Wilton and Penshurst. In the years following, from 1577 to 1583, Sidney produced all of the works that we possess from his pen, and it is reasonable to suppose that during all of that period Greville was sharing with him in his literary amusements as in virtually all of his other activities.
