Excerpt from Works of Dr. Thomas Campion

When I issued in 1887 the first edition of my anthology Lyrics from Elizabethan Song-books the merits of Thomas Campion still waited recognition. Prof. Arber had included the greater part of his songs in An English Garner, vol. iii., but in 1887 Campion's admirers were few indeed. By critics and by anthologists he had been persistently neglected. I pleaded that the time had come for him to take his rightful place among our English poets; and the plea was so successful that he now runs the risk of becoming the object of uncritical adulation.

In the editio princeps (which I issued in 1889) of his collected works, I included all his Latin poems; but in the present volume I give only his English works - his songs, his masques and his Observations in the Art of English Poesy. The first edition of Campion's Latin poems (Campiani Poemata, 1595)is exceedingly rare. In 1889 I had not been able to trace a copy. At a later date Mr. W. H. Allnutt informed me that a perfect copy (the only perfect copy known) is in the possession of Viscount Clisden, who has very kindly allowed me to make free use of this precious little volume.
