Back to Modern History Sourcebook Modern History Sourcebook: Abraham Cowley Of Agriculture, 1650 Introductory Note Abraham Cowley (1618-1667) was educated at Westminster School and later at Trinity College, Cambridge, from which he was ejected with most of the Masters and Fellows for refusing to sign the Solemn League and Covenant in 1644. In the same year he crossed to France in the suite of Lord Jermyn, Queen Henrietta Maria's chief officer, and remained with the royal family in exile for twelve years. After the Restoration he became a doctor of medicine, and was one of the first members of the Royal Society. He is buried in Westminster Abbey. The Essay The first wish of Virgil (as you will find anon by his verses) was to be a good philosopher, the second, a good husbandman: and God (whom he seem'd to understand better than most of the most learned heathens) dealt with him just as he did with Solomon; because he prayed for wisdom in the first place, he added all things else, which were subordinately to be desir'd. He made him one of the best philosophers and the best husbandmen; and, to adorn and communicate both those faculties, the best poet. He made him, besides all this, a rich man, and a man who desired to be no richer "O fortunatus nimium, et bona qui sua novit!"

Abraham Cowley (pronounced Cooley ) was born in London, the posthumous son of a wealthy London stationer. He was educated at Westminster School and at Trinity College , Cambridge, where he took his BA in 1639, was made fellow in 1640, and became MA in 1643. Cowley published his first volume of verse, Poetical Blossoms (1633), when he was 15. The collection consisted of five poems, one of which Cowley had written at age 10. He wrote a pastoral drama and a Latin comedy, Naufragium Ioculare (1638), when he was but 20. During the Civil War , the Parliamentary party deprived Cowley of his fellowship, but he had already left Cambridge to join the King at Oxford and, in 1644, followed Queen Henrietta Maria to France as her secretary. His first collection of verse, The Mistress : or, Several Copies of Love Verses was published in 1647. Upon his return to England in 1654, Cowley was imprisoned; after his release he seems to have worked as a Royalist spy. He began studying medicine at Oxford , becoming an MD in 1657. Cowley's fellowship at Cambridge was reinstated at the Restoration, and Henrietta Maria granted him land. Thereafter,Cowley lived in retirement at

Der Weiberfreund (The Inconstant) Text by Josef Franz von Ratschky (1757-1810), after Abraham Cowley Set by Franz Schubert (1797-1828), D271 (1815), published 1895. The Inconstant I never yet could see that face Which had no dart for me; From fifteen years to fifties space, They all victorious be. Love thou'rt a Devil; if I may call thee One, For sure in Me thy name is Legion. Colour, or Shape, good Limbs, or Face, Goodness, or witin all I find. In Motion or in Speech a grace, If all fail, yet 'tis Woman-kind; And I'm so weak, the Pistol need not be Double, or treble charg'd to murder Me. If Tall, the Name of Proper slays; If fair, she's pleasant as the light; If low, her Prettiness does please; If Black, what Lover loves not Night? If Yellow-hair'd, I Love, lest it should be Th' excuse to others for not loving me. Input by Richard Morris, ap54@dial.pipex.com Back to the Lied and Song Texts Page
