Cf. Faery Queen, Bk. IV, Canto XI: "Where Thames doth the Med- way wed". "76. , 101 ff. 182 ELIZABETHAN CRITICISM OF POETRY verses"; and he doubts "not but their lively example and practice will prevail a thousand times more in short space than the dead advertise- ment and persuasion of M. Ascham to the same effect. " He "would gladly be acquainted with M. Drant's prosody" and the augmentations made by Sidney and Spenser; however, he believes that his own rules "will fall out not greatly repugn...ant, though peradventure somewhat different. " Of one point Harvey feels assured, namely, that for the "infallible certainty of our English artificial prosody" the reformers must first of all universally agree upon one and the same orthography, in all points conformable and proportionate to our common natural prosody. " Although he dare not without further consulting his pillow set down general precepts for the new versifying, he is not "greatly squeamish of particular examples" from which they may be guessed, and he sends several specimens for Spenser's criticism and admiration.
