Translated into Verse, from Homer, Ovid, Boccace, & Chaucer: With Original Poems. 'First edition of Dryden's collection of fables from Ovid, Homer, Boccaccio and Chaucer, completed and published the year of Dryden's death. "The golden Preface [of Dryden's Fables] describes his delighted progress from Homer to Ovid, from Ovid to Chaucer, and from Chaucer to Boccaccio, the volume constantly swelling in his hands; 'I have built a house,' he concludes, 'where I intended but a lodge'. Dryden's search for materials was far and wide. He plundered medieval as well as ancient story; he went to the greatest tellers of tales wherever they were, whether they were Greek, Roman, Italian, or English. The chime of Dryden's verse was never done" (Van Doren, 214-15). Includes selections from Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, Boccaccio, Ovid's Metamorphoses, and Homer's Iliad and Odyssey. Wing D-2278. CBEL II: 263.' ' A collection of some twelve thousand verses, including paraphrases or translations of the first 'Iliad', some of Ovid's 'Metamorphoses', and tales from Chaucer and Boccaccio. There is also a poem 'To my Honoured Kinsman, John Driden', verses addressed to the Duchess of Ormond, and lines on 'A Fair Maiden lady who died at Bath' [the wife of Lord Abingdon].

Quotes
ASPECTS OF THE PINES
Tall, somber, grim, against the morning sky They rise, scarce touched by melancholy airs, Which stir the fadeless foliage dreamfully, As if from realms of mystical despairs. Tall, somber, grim, they stand with dusky gleams Brightening to gold within the woodland's core, Beneath the gracious noontide's tranquil beams, - But the weird winds of morning sigh no more. A stillness, strange, divine, ineffable, Broods round and o'er them in the wind's surcease, And on each tinted copse and shimmering dell Rests the mute rapture of deep hearted peace. Last, sunset comes - the solemn joy and might Borne from the West when cloudless day declines - Low, flute-like breezes sweep the waves of light, And, lifting dark green tresses of the pines, Till every lock is luminous, gently float, Fraught with hale odors up the heavens afar, To faint when twilight on her virginal throat Wears for a gem the tremulous vesper star.Paul Hamilton Hayne [1830-1886]
