Thomas Vaughan, was the son of See also:Charles Vaughan of Tretower See also:Castle, and had acquired the See also:farm of Newton by See also:marriage. From 1632 to 1638 he and his twin See also:brother Thomas, noticed below, were privately educated by the Rev. See also:Matthew See also:Herbert, See also:rector of Llangattock, to whom they both addressed Latin verses expressing their gratitude.

Oxford, in 1638, but no corroboration of the statement is forthcoming, although Thomas Vaughan's matriculation is entered, nor does Henry Vaughan ever allude to See also:residence at the university.' He was sent to See also:London to study See also:law, but turning his See also:attention to See also:medicine, he became a physician, and settled first at See also:Brecon and later at Scethrog to the practice of his See also:art. He was regarded, says Wood, as an " ingenious See also:person, but proud and humorous." It seems likely that he fought on the See also:- KING

In 1646 appeared Poems, with the Tenth Satyre of See also:Juvenal Englished, by Henry Vaughan, Gent. The poems in this See also:volume are chiefly addressed to " Amoret," and the last is on Priory See also:Grove, the See also:home of the " matchless Oriuda," Mrs Katharine See also:Philips. A second volume of See also:secular
Two poems in the Eueharistica Oxoniensia (1641) are signed '' H. Vaughan, Jes. See also:Coll.," but are probably by a contemporary of the same name, noticed by Wood. See Mr E. K. See also:Chambers's See also:biographical See also:note in vol. ii. of Vaughan's See also:Works.See also:verse, Olor Iscanus, which takes its name from the opening verses addressed to the Isca (Usk), was published by a friend, probably Thomas Vaughan, without the author's consent, in 165r. The See also:book includes three See also:prose See also:translations from Latin versions of See also:Plutarch and See also:Maximus of See also:Tyre, and one in praise of a See also:country See also:life from See also:Guevara. The See also:preface is dated 1647, and the See also:reason for Vaughan's reluctance to See also:print the book is to be sought in the preface to Silex Scintillans: or Sacred Poems and Pious Ejaculations (r65o). There he says: " The first that with any effectual success attempted a diversion of this foul and overflowing stream (of profane See also:poetry) was the blessed See also:man, Mr See also:George Herbert, whose See also:holy life and verse gained many pious converts, of whom I am the least." He further expresses his See also:debt in " The Match," when he says that his own " fierce, See also:wild See also:blood . . . is still See also:tam'd by those See also:bright fires which thee inflam'd." His debt to Herbert extended to the See also:form of his poetry and sometimes to the actual expressions used in it, and a See also:long See also:list of parallel passages has been adduced. His other works are The See also:Mount of See also:Olives: or Solitary Devotions, with a See also:translation, Man in See also:Glory, from the Latin of See also:Anselm (165x); See also:Flores Solitudinis (1654), consisting of two prose translations from Nierembergius, one from St Eucherius, and a life of See also:Paulinus, See also:bishop of See also:Nola; Hermetical Physick, translated from the Naturae Sanctuarium of Henricus Nollius; Thalia Rediviva; The Pass-Times and Diversions of a Country Muse (1678), which includes some of his brother's poems. Henry Vaughan died at Scethrog on the 23rd of April 1695, and was buried in the See also:- CHURCH
- CHURCH (according to most authorities derived from the Gr. Kvpcaxov [&wµa], " the Lord's [house]," and common to many Teutonic, Slavonic and other languages under various forms—Scottish kirk, Ger. Kirche, Swed. kirka, Dan. kirke, Russ. tserkov, Buig. cerk

As a poet Vaughan comes latest in the so-called " See also:meta-See also:physical " school of the 17th See also:century. He is a See also:disciple of See also:Donne, but follows him mainly as he saw him reflected in George Herbert. He analyses his experiences, amatory and sacred, with excessive ingenuity, striking out, every now and then, through his extreme intensity of feeling and his See also:close observation of nature, lines and phrases of marvellous felicity. He is of See also:imagination all compact; and is happiest when he abandons himself most completely to his See also:vision. It is, as Ch;non H. C. See also:Beeching has said, "' undoubtedly the mystical "See also:element in Vaughan's See also:writing by vihich he takes See also:rank as a' poet . . . it is easy to see that he has a See also:passion for Nature for her own See also:sake, that he has observed her moods; that indeed the See also:world is to him no less than a See also:veil of the eternal spirit, whose presence may be See also:felt in any, even the smallest See also:part." In this imaginative outlook on Nature he no doubt exercised See also:great See also:influence on See also:Wordsworth, who is known to have possessed a copy of his poems, and it is difficult to avoid seeing in " The See also:Retreat " the germ of the later poet's " See also:Ode on Intimations of See also:Immortality." By this poem, with " The World," mainly because of its magnificent opening See also:stanza,
" Beyond the Veil," and " See also:Peace," he is best known to the See also:ordinary reader.
The See also:complete works of Henry Vaughan were edited for the See also:Fuller Worthies Library by Dr A. B. See also:Grosart in 1871. The Poems of Henry Vaughan, Silurist, were edited in 1896 by Mr E. K. Chambers, with an introduction by See also:Canon H. C. Beeching, for the See also:Muses' Library.
