Cowleyleft the line with all this lyrical promise within it, and if hisexample had been followed, English prosody would have had in this avaluable bequest. Cowley probably was two or three years younger than RichardCrashaw, and the alexandrine is to be found--to be found bysearching--in Crashaw; and he took precisely the same care asCowley that the long wand of that line should not give way in themiddle--should be strong and supple and should last. Here are fourof his alexandrines - "Or you, mo...re noble architects of intellectual noise. ""Of sweets you have, and murmur that you have no more. ""And everlasting series of a deathless song. ""To all the dear-bought nations this redeeming name. " A later poet--Coventry Patmore--wrote a far longer line than eventhese--a line not only speeding further, but speeding with a morecelestial movement than Cowley or Crashaw heard with the ear ofdreams. "He unhappily adopted, " says Dr. Johnson as to Cowley's diction, "that which was predominant. " "That which was predominant" was asgood a vintage of English language as the cycles of history haveever brought to pass.
