DRAYTON’S POLY-OLBION.――CORNWALL.
MICHAEL DRAYTON was born of a gentleman’s family in Warwickshire in
the year 1563. His ancestors are said to have migrated from Drayton in
Lancashire.
Michael exhibited a strong genius for poetry at an early age. He
studied at Oxford, but without taking a degree. In 1588 he appears to
have served in a military capacity; as he describes the glorious
victory over the Invincible Armada, as seen by himself, from the shore
near Dover. He died in 1631, and was buried in Westminster Abbey.
Mr. Drayton was a very voluminous writer of Poetry. We have from him――
Heroic Epistles after the model of Ovid.
The Barons’ Wars in the Reign of Edward the Second.
The Battle of Agincourt.
The Shepherd’s Garland.
Elegies.
The Man in the Moon, the Owl, Odes, and various other small Poems.
