Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from A Bibliographical and Critical Account of the Rarest Books in the English Language Alphabetically Arranged, Vol. 4 of 4: Which During the Last Fifty Years Have Come Under the Observation Sabie, Francis. - Adam´s Complaint. The Olde Worldes Tragedie. David and Bathsheba. A Jove Musa. - Imprinted at London by Richard Johnes, at the Rose and Crowne next above Saint Andrewes Church in Holborne. 1596. 4to. This production is by an author who ambitiously attempted all kinds of verse, - Francis Sabie. He began with blank-verse in 1595, when he reproduced Robert Greene´s "Pandosto, the Triumph of Time" (afterwards called "Dorastus and Fawnia") under the title of "The Fisherman´s Tale." In the same year came out Pan his Pipe, consisting chiefly of English hexameters; and in 1596 he published the work in our hands in rhyming stanzas. He had no great success in any department. He rendered Greene´s pretty novel almost wearisome. He displayed no skill in classical measures, which he fancied were especially adapted to pastorals, because they had been used by Virgil; and his rhymes are only tolerable. He seems to have taken up the sacred subject of "Adam´s Complaint," &c., because he had failed in his profane experiments. The dedication, signed Francis Sabie, is in twelve lines to the Bishop of Peterborough, Dr. Howland, though what claim he had upon that prelate does not appear.
