Edwards, Thomas. Cephalus and Procris. Narcissus. Aurora musae amica.
1595. Rptd, Roxburghe Club, 1882.
Ovid's treatment is closely followed. Cephalus and Procris is in
rimed heroics; Narcissus in stanzas of seven decasyllabic lines. Of the
author little is known; but his poems are good.
Greene, Robert. The lyric poems of Robert Greene are to be found chiefly
in the following works:
Perimedes The Blacke-Smith. A golden methode, how to use the mind in
pleasant and profitable exercise: Wherein is contained speciall principles
fit for the highest to imitate, and the meanest to put in practise, how best
to spend the wearie winters nights, or the longest summers Evenings, in
honest and delightfull recreation: Wherein we may learne to avoide
idlenesse and wanton scurrilitie, which divers appoint as the end of their
pastimes. Heerein are interlaced three merrie and necessarie discourses
fit for our time: with certaine pleasant Histories and tragicall tales,
which may breed delight to all, and offence to none. 1588.
