The difference between the respective poetical gifts of these two men gifts which a just criticism must rate very high may be best left to the reader's discrimination and enjoyment. Only this need here be noted, that both are instinct with the fervour, with the strange- ness, of the Celtic sensitive imagination ; concealed indeed in some degree by Herbert's academical training, but everywhere pervading his disciple's work with a certain fascinating intensity. Vaughan long over-lived the Restora...tion : after which date the condensed style, not free from overstrained fancy and ' conceit, ' popular hitherto in the seventeenth century, gradually gave way to a greater simplicity of thought and language, a less imaginative colouring ; to what, in a word, we might call the modern manner. To this time naturally belongs the beginning of religious song for public use. Perhaps the specimens here given might have been ranged with the hymns of the next hundred years. But they are placed in our first book because in style and in thought they arc yet closely allied to the preceding period : they unite our own hymnology, looked at as a whole, with the last echoes of the Elizabethan age.
