Nobel Prize by: All Author Title Keyword for: John Gay search biblion English poet and dramatist, friend of Pope and Swift. Gay is remembered from his play THE BEGGAR'S OPERA (1728), which has been basis for Bertold Brecht's classical work The Three penny Opera My lodging is on the cold ground, And hard, very hard, is my fare, But that which grieves me more Is the coldness of my dear. (from My Lodging Is on the Cold Ground, 1720) John Gay was born at Barnstaple in Devon, as the youngest son of William Gay. He lost his parents in the early age and was brought up by his uncle. Gay started as an apprentice to a silk merchant in London. He worked in 1712-14 as a steward in the household of the Duchess of Monmouth. He then became secretary to Lord Clarendon, Tory envoy to Hanover, but with the death of Queen Anne and the fall of Tory government he was left on his own resources. In his last years Gay lived mainly with two of his patrons, the Duke and Duchess of Queensbury in Wiltshire. In 1732 he returned to London, where he died on December 4. Gay was buried in Westminster Abbey.

How her eyes languish with desire! How blest, how happy should I be, Were that fond glance bestow'd on me! New doubts and fears within me war: What rival's near? a China jar. China 's the passion of her soul; A cup, a plate, a dish, a bowl, Can kindle wishes in her breast, Inflame with joy, or break her rest. Some gems collect; some medals prize, And view the rust with lover's eyes; Some court the stars at midnight hours; Some dote on Nature's charms in flowers! But ev'ry beauty I can trace In Laura 's mind, in Laura 's face; My stars are in this brighter sphere, My lily and my rose is here.

This feature is further demonstrated in If the heart of a man is depressed with cares where the pirouetting and trilling solo violin adds a seductive feminine voice to the musical argument – and Langridge’s head voice, incidentally, is deployed to superb effect.

Jonathan Swift and John Gay: Satire in the works of Swift and Gay by Catherine Cooper English Literature Home Page Course Summary English Literature Resources English Literature Essays ... Contact Us Jonathan Swift Satire is a sort of glass wherein beholders do generally discover everybody's face but their own, which is the chief reason so few are offended by it. (Swift. preface to The Battle of the Books) John Gay 'Satire . . . should be true up to a certain point' wrote George Eliot. The best and most disturbing satire almost always has a large element of possible truth to it. In this essay I wish to examine how writers, particularly Jonathan Swift (1667-1745) and John Gay (1685-1732) have satirized the nature of man and his place in the great Chain of Being. Gulliver's Travels In Swift's Gulliver's Travels the observations on man are particularly astute and the satire particularly disturbing. Swift wrote the work 'to vex the world rather than divert it' and it has been considered by many to be a deeply misanthropic novel. Swift was, indeed, a misanthrope to a certain extent. He said he hated mankind but found it possible to love individuals. However, this seems difficult to believe when the bleak light in which Gulliver sees the human race by the end of the novel is observed.
