Rare and strange indeed that massive figure must have seemed among those lean^ meagre Scots ! You still get bits of Drummond in anthologies. First of Scots he wrote entirely in English verse : Tears on the Death of Mceliades, Forth Feasting, The Cypress Grove. You guess the nature of the Cavalier Poet from the very names of his works, as also from the epitaph he wrote for himself. He rests in Lass wade churchyard some two miles off. " Here Damon lies, whose song did sometimes grace The wanderin...g Esk ; may roses shade the place. " You still read him with pleasure. There is a courtly, tender grace about him, a subdued echo of the Eliza- bethans. You must not place him too high Shake- speare stands alone, but you would not venture to compare Drummond with the other great dramatists, say Ben Jonson or Marlowe. He ranks with the men who are 245 EDINBURGH AND THE LOTHIANS soldiers and statesmen first and only in an idle or softer hour carved some delicate gem of poetry, with Sir Philip Sidney or Sir Walter Raleigh.
