Thomas Eversham of See also:Horsham, See also:Essex. In the See also:fourth See also:eclogue of See also:George See also:Wither's Shepherd's See also:Hunting, written as early as 1613–1614, Philarete (Wither) asks Willy (Browne) why he is silent, and the reply is that some " my See also:music do contemne." The times were unfavourable to his tranquil See also:- TALENT (Lat. talentum, adaptation of Gr. TaXavrov, balance, !

talent, and the second See also:half of his See also:life was spent in retirement. He died some time before 1645, when letters of See also:administration were granted to his widow, and he may have been the William Browne whose See also:burial is recorded in the Tavistock registers under the date of the 27th of See also:March 1643.
Browne was the See also:- PUPIL (Lat. pupillus, orphan, minor, dim. of pupus, boy, allied to puer, from root pm- or peu-, to beget, cf. "pupa," Lat. for " doll," the name given to the stage intervening between the larval and imaginal stages in certain insects)
pupil and friend of See also:Michael See also:Drayton, who associates " my Browne " in the " See also:Epistle to Henry See also:Reynolds " with the two Beaumonts as " my dear companions whom I freely See also:chose, My bosom See also:friends." But directly indebted as Browne is for the See also:form of his poems, for the slight See also:story and the rather wearisome See also:allegory, to See also:Spenser, See also:Sidney, Drayton and especially to See also:Fletcher's Faithful Shepherdess, his See also:poetry is no See also:mere copy of any of these See also:models. His See also:Arcadia is localized in his native Devonshire. He was untiring in his praises of " Tavy's voiceful stream (to whom I owe more strains than from my pipe can ever flow)." He knew See also:local See also:history and traditions, and he celebrates the gallant sailors who " by their See also:power made the Devonian See also:shore See also:Mock the proud See also:Tagus." ( Brit. Past. bk. ii., See also:song 3). It is for his truthful, affectionate pictures of his countrylife and its surroundings that the stories of Marina and See also:Celandine, Doridon and the See also:rest are still read. A copy of Browne's pastorals with annotations in See also:Milton's See also:handwriting is preserved in the Huth library, and there are many points of likeness between Lycidas and the elegy on Philarete (Thomas Manwood) in the fourth eclogue of the Shepherd's Pipe. See also:Keats was a student
of Browne, and See also:Herrick's See also:fairy fantasies are thought to owe something to the third book of the pastorals.
The first two books of Britannia's Pastorals were re-issued in 1625. The third, though it had no doubt circulated in the author's lifetime, remained unknown until Beriah Botfield discovered a copy of it in the library of See also:Salisbury See also:cathedral, See also:bound up with the 1613 and 1616 See also:editions of the first and second books. This MS. was edited for the See also:Percy Society by T. C. See also:Croker in 1852. A collected edition of Browne's See also:works was published in 1772 by See also:John See also:Davies. It is not known whether The Inner Temple Masque on the story of Ulysses and See also:Circe, which was written for performance on the 13th of See also:January 1615, was ever actually represented. A See also:series of sonnets to See also:Caelia, some epistles, elegies and epitaphs, with some other See also:miscellaneous poems, See also:complete the See also:list of Browne's works. These have been collected from various See also:sources, the most important being See also:Lansdowne MS. 777 (See also:British Museum), and they were printed for the first time by Sir S. E. See also:Brydges in 1815. Excellent See also:modern complete editions of Browne and Mr W. C.
