Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Cavalier Poets
In considering the licentiousness which sometimes tainted the purity of his verse, we must make allowance for the age in which he lived. Lines unfit for modern ears, would have given little or no offense in that bygone period. There are passages in the works of Lovelace and his compeers that are to be counted among the rarest gems of verse; gems which should live even if the very names of the gallant authors be lost in the mist of years.
