To embellishments. these should be added, The Passion of Dido for Æneas, as it is incomparably exprest in the Fourth Book of Virgil, translated by Edmund Waller and Sidney Godolphin, Esqrs., 1658, sm. 8vo. Some of his speeches were published separately from his poems. "He was joined with Lord Buckhurst in the translation of Corneille's Pompey, and is said to have added his help to that of Cowley in the original draught of the Rehearsal." His poems are chiefly brief and occasional, though among them is a description of Divine Love, in six cantos.

"The characters by which Waller intended to distinguish his writing are sprightliness and dignity: in his smaller pieces he endeavours to be gay; in the larger, to be great. Of his airy and light productions the chief source is gallantry, that attentive reverence of female excellence which has descended to us from the Gothic ages. As his poems are commonly occasional, and his addresses personal, he was not so liberally supplied with grand as with soft images; for beauty is more easily found than magnanimity. The delicacy which he cultivated restrains him slightest matter. He has, therefore, in his whole volume nothing to a certain nicety and caution, even when he writes upon the burlesque, and seldom anything ludicrous or familiar. He seems always to do his best; though his subjects are often unworthy of his care. . . . But of the praise of Waller, though much may be taken away, much will remain; for it cannot be denied that

he added something to our elegance of diction, and something to our propriety of thought; and to him may be applied what Tasso said, with equal spirit and justice, of himself and Guarini, when, having perused the Pastor Fido,' he cried out, if he had not read 'Aminta' he had not excelled it."-DR. JOHNSON: Life of Waller, in his Lives of Eng. Poets, P. Cunningham's ed., 1854, i. 250, 260. Read the whole of this Life and Mr. Cunningham's illustrative Notes.

"Waller was the first refiner of English poetry, at least of English rhyme; but his performances still abound with many faults; and, what is more material, they contain but few and superficial beauties. Gaiety, wit, and ingenuity are their ruling character. They aspire not to the sublime, still less to the pathetic. They treat of love without making us feel any tenderness, and abound in panegyric without exciting admiration. The panegyric, however, on Cromwell contains more force than we should expect from the other compositions of this poet."-HUME: Hist. of England, ch. Ixii.: The Commonwealth. See, also, ch. lvi. With like carelessness Bishop Atterbury, who meditated an edition of Waller's Poems, tells us (Preface to Waller's Poems, 1690) that Waller was "the parent of English verse, and the first that showed us that our tongue had beauty and numbers." Surely it was not reserved for the poets of "Charles's days" to make this pleasing discovery. Dryden, Prior, and Pope are among the eminent critics who commend the sweetness of Waller's verse; and in other respects, also, he has been advantageously compared with some of his contemporaries:

"Waller has a more uniform elegance, a more sure facility and happiness of expression, and, above all, a greater exemption from glaring faults, such as pedantry, extravagance, conceit,

quaintness, obscurity, ungrammatical and unmeaning constructions, than any of the Caroline era with whom he would naturally be compared. We have only to open Carew or Lovelace to perceive the difference; not that Waller is wholly without some of these faults, but that they are much less frequent. If others may have brighter passages of fancy or sentiment, which is not difficult, he husbands better his resources, and, though left behind in the beginning of the race, comes sooner to the goal.... In his amorous poetry he has little passion or sensibility; but he is never free and petulant, never tedious, and never absurd. His praise consists much in negations; but, in a comparative estimate, perhaps negations ought to count for a good deal."— HALLAM: Lit. Hist. of Europe, 4th ed., 1854, iii. 472. See, also, 42, 484.

"Waller, whom you proscribe, sir, owed his reputation to the graces of his manner, though he frequently stumbled, and even fell flat; but a few of his smaller pieces are as graceful as possible: one might say that he excelled in paintings in enamel, but could not succeed in portraits in oil, large as life."-Horace Walpole to J. Pinkerton, (on his Heron's Letters:) Letters, ed. 1861,

viii. 564.

His latest critic concludes his survey with these remarks:

"There are not, perhaps, two hundred really good lines in all Waller's poetry. Extravagant conceits, feeble verses, and defective rhymes are constantly recurring, although the poems, being mostly short, are not tedious. Of elevated imagination, profound thought, or passion, he was utterly destitute; and it is only in detached passages, single stanzas, or small pieces, finished with great care and elegance, as the lines on a lady's girdle, those on the dwarfs, and a few of the lyrics, that we can discern that play of fancy, verbal sweetness, and harmony which gave so great a name to Waller for more than a hundred years."-ROBERT CARRUTHERS: Life of Waller, in Encyc. Brit., 8th ed., xxi., 1860, 691. "Waller was smooth, but Dryden taught to join The varying pause, the full resounding line, The long majestic march, and energy divine."-POPE.
