Mason; A Philosophical Essay on Old Maids (1785); and the Triumphs of See also:Temper (1781). The last-mentioned See also:work was so popular as to run to twelve or fourteen See also:editions; together with the Triumphs of See also:Music (Chichester, 1804) it was ridiculed by See also:Byron in English Bards and Scotch Reviewers. So See also:great was Hayley's fame that on Thomas See also:Warton's See also:death in 1790 he was offered the laureateship, which he refused. In 1792, while See also:writing the See also:Life of See also:Milton (1794), Hayley made Cowper's acquaintance. A warm friendship sprang up between the two which lasted till Cowper's death in 1800. Hayley indeed was mainly instrumental in getting Cowper his See also:pension. In 'Soo Hayley also lost his natural son, Thomas See also:Alphonso Hayley, to whom he was devotedly attached. He had been a 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 of See also:John See also:Flaxman's, to whom Hayley's Essay on See also:Sculpture (r800) is addressed. Flaxman introduced William See also:Blake to Hayley, and after the latter had moved in r800to his "marinehermitage" at Felpham, Sussex, Blake settled near him for three years to engrave the illustrations for the Life of Cowper. This, Hayley's best known work, was published in 1803—1804 (Chichester) in 3 vols. In 1805 he published See also:Ballads founded on Anecdotes of Animals (Chichester), with illustrations by Blake, and in 1809 The Life of Romney. For the last twelve years of his life Hayley received an See also:allowance for writing his See also:Memoirs. He died at Felpham on the 12th of November 182o. Hayley's first wife died in 1797; her mind had been seriously affected, and since 1789 they had been separated. He married in 1809 See also:Mary Welford, but they also separated after three years. He left no See also:children.
