3. Life Of Abraham Cowley (1618-1667) Abraham Cowley (pronounced Cooley) was born in London, the posthumous son of a wealthy London stationer. Nethercot, AH Abraham Cowley, the Muse s Hannibal. http://www.luminarium.org/sevenlit/cowley/cowleybio.htm

Abraham Cowley (pronounced Cooley ) was born in London, the posthumous son of a wealthy London stationer. He was educated at Westminster School and at Trinity College , Cambridge, where he took his BA in 1639, was made fellow in 1640, and became MA in 1643. Cowley published his first volume of verse, Poetical Blossoms (1633), when he was 15. The collection consisted of five poems, one of which Cowley had written at age 10. He wrote a pastoral drama and a Latin comedy, Naufragium Ioculare (1638), when he was but 20. During the Civil War , the Parliamentary party deprived Cowley of his fellowship, but he had already left Cambridge to join the King at Oxford and, in 1644, followed Queen Henrietta Maria to France as her secretary. His first collection of verse, The Mistress : or, Several Copies of Love Verses was published in 1647. Upon his return to England in 1654, Cowley was imprisoned; after his release he seems to have worked as a Royalist spy. He began studying medicine at Oxford , becoming an MD in 1657. Cowley's fellowship at Cambridge was reinstated at the Restoration, and Henrietta Maria granted him land. Thereafter,Cowley lived in retirement at

Back to Modern History Sourcebook Modern History Sourcebook: Abraham Cowley Of Agriculture, 1650 Introductory Note Abraham Cowley (1618-1667) was educated at Westminster School and later at Trinity College, Cambridge, from which he was ejected with most of the Masters and Fellows for refusing to sign the Solemn League and Covenant in 1644. In the same year he crossed to France in the suite of Lord Jermyn, Queen Henrietta Maria's chief officer, and remained with the royal family in exile for twelve years. After the Restoration he became a doctor of medicine, and was one of the first members of the Royal Society. He is buried in Westminster Abbey. The Essay The first wish of Virgil (as you will find anon by his verses) was to be a good philosopher, the second, a good husbandman: and God (whom he seem'd to understand better than most of the most learned heathens) dealt with him just as he did with Solomon; because he prayed for wisdom in the first place, he added all things else, which were subordinately to be desir'd. He made him one of the best philosophers and the best husbandmen; and, to adorn and communicate both those faculties, the best poet. He made him, besides all this, a rich man, and a man who desired to be no richer "O fortunatus nimium, et bona qui sua novit!"

Much danger first, much toil did he sustain, Whilst Saul and Hell cross'd his strong fate in vain. Nor did his crown less painful work afford; Less exercise his patience, or his sword; So long her conqueror fortunes spite pursued; Till with unwearied virtue he subdued All homebred malice, and all foreign boasts; Their strength was armies, his the Lord of Hosts. Thou, who didst David's royal stem adorn, And gav'st him birth from whom thy self wast born; Who didst in triumph at death's court appear, And slew'st him with thy nails, thy cross and spear, Whilst Hell's black tyrant trembled to behold, The glorious light he forfeited of old; Who Heav'ns glad burden now, and justest pride, Sit'st high enthron'd next thy great Father's side

19. Of Solitude - An Essay By Abraham Cowley (1618-1667) Of Solitude by Abraham Cowley (From Essays, first published in 1668.). Nunquam minus salus, quam cum solus, is now become a very vulgar saying. http://www.ourcivilisation.com/smartboard/shop/cowleya/solitude.htm

Of Solitude by Abraham Cowley (From Essays , first published in 1668.) Nunquam minus salus, quam cum solus Monsieur de Montaigne , that ambition itself might teach us to love solitude: there is nothing does so much hate to have companions. It is true, it loves to have its elbows free, it detests to have company on either side, but it delights above all things in a train behind, aye, and ushers, too, before it. But the greater part of men are so far from the opinion of that noble Roman, that if they chance at any time to be without company they are like a becalmed ship; they never move but by the wind of other men's breath, and have no oars of their own to steer withal. It is very fantastical and contradictory in human nature, that men should love themselves above all the rest of the world, and yet never endure to be with themselves. When they are in love with a mistress, all other persons are importunate and burdensome to them. " Tecum vivere amem, tecum obeam lubens ," They would live and die with her alone. And yet our dear self is so wearisome to us that we can scarcely support its conversation for an hour together.
