To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" He has seventeen sonnets, but confines himself to the Shak- sperean form or to one peculiar to himself. He does not use Spenser's stanza nor Chaucer's Rhyme Royal. His feeling for the texture of a 130 FORMATIVE TYPES IN ENGLISH POETRY line is much finer than that of his master, of whom Ben Jonson said to Drummond that "for not keeping of accent Donne deserved hanging. " For each lyrical situation he in- vents exactly the rhythmic setting which befits it. Each set of emotions he clothes in ind...ividual garb, and only when what is beneath is similar is the same clothing used a second time. One hundred and sixteen of his poems are written in metres which are not repeated. In his verse matter and form are bound together with exceptional closeness. So much has been said in this chapter about Herbert as a poet of the personal life and of his agreement with his group in analyzing indi- vidual experience, that perhaps in closing a few words of caution are needed. These subtle longings, dejections, and vacillations of the lover of God, like similar moods reported by the poets of human love, are not mere state- ments of autobiographic fact.
