The Lives of the Most Famous English Poets (1687)
Winstanley, William
Poets, English -- Biography -- Early works to 1800

Gentleman, I should run my self into an irrecoverable Labyrinth. Nor is
he less happy in his Verse than Prose, which for Elegancy of Language,
and quickness of Invention, deservedly entitles him to the honour of a
Poet; and therefore I shall forbear to write more of him, since what I
can do upon that account, comes infinitely far short of his deservings.
