In 1726 Thomas Cooke printed an edition of Marvell's works which contains the poetry that was in the folio of 1681, and in 1772 Cooke's edition was reprinted by T. Davies. It was probably Davies's edition that Charles Lamb, writing to Godwin on Sunday, 14th December 1800, says he "was just going to possess": a notable addition to Lamb's library, and an event in the history of the progress of Marvell's poetical reputation. Captain Thompson's edition, containing the _Horatian Ode_ and other pieces, followed in 1776. In the great Poetical Collection of the Booksellers (1779-1781) which they improperly[229:1] called "Johnson's _Poets_" (improperly, because the poets were, with four exceptions, the choice not of the biographer but of the booksellers, anxious to retain their imaginary copyright), Marvell has no place. Mr. George Ellis, in his _Specimens_ of the early English poets first published in 1803, printed from Marvell _Daphne and Chloe_ (in part) and _Young Love_. When Mr. Bowles, that once famous sonneteer, edited Pope in 1806, he, by way of belittling Pope, quoted two lines from Marvell, now well known, but unfamiliar in 1806:-- "And through the hazels thick espy The hatching throstle's shining eye." He remarked upon them, "the last circumstance is new, highly poetical, and could only have been described by one who was a real lover of nature and a witness of her beauties in her most solitary retirement." On this Mark Pattison makes the comment that the lines only prove that Marvell when a boy went bird-nesting (_Essays_, vol. ii. p. 374), a pursuit denied to Pope by his manifold infirmities. The poet Campbell, in his _Specimens_ (1819), gave an excellent sketch of Marvell's life, and selected _The Bermudas_, _The Nymph and Fawn_, and _Young Love_. Then came, fresh from talk with Charles Lamb, Hazlitt, with his _Select Poets_ (1825), which contains the _Horatian Ode_, _Bermudas_, _To his Coy Mistress_, _The Nymph and Fawn_, _A Drop of Dew_, _The Garden_, _The Gallery_, _Upon the Hill and Grove at Billborow_. In this choice we may see the hand of Charles Lamb, as Tennyson's may be noticed in the selection made in Palgrave's _Golden Treasury_ (1863). Dean Trench in his _Household Book of English Poetry_ (1869) gives _Eyes and Tears_, the _Horatian Ode_, and _A Drop of Dew_. In Mr. Ward's _English Poets_ (1880) Marvell is represented by _The Garden_, _A Drop of Dew_, _The Bermudas_, _Young Love_, the _Horatian Ode_, and the _Lines on Paradise Lost_. Thanks to these later Anthologies and to the quotations from _The Garden_ and _Upon Appleton House_ in the _Essays of Elia_, Marvell's fame as a true poet has of recent years become widespread, and is now, whatever vicissitudes it may have endured, well established.
