WILLIAM (1663—1708) , See also:English poet and critic, son of See also:Joseph Walsh of Abberley, See also:Worcestershire, was See also:born in 1663. He entered Wadham See also:College, See also:- OXFORD

Oxford, as a See also:gentleman commoner in 1678. Leaving the university without a degree, he settled in his native See also:county, and was returned M.P. for See also:Worcester in 1698, 1701 and 1702. In 1705 he sat for See also:Richmond, See also:Yorkshire. On the See also:accession of See also:Queen See also:Anne he was made "gentleman of the See also:horse," a See also:post which he held till his See also:death, noted by See also:Narcissus See also:Luttrell on the 18th of See also:March 1708. He wrote a See also:Dialogue concerning See also:Women, being a See also:Defence of the See also:Sex (1691), addressed to " Eugenia "; and Letters and Poems, Amorous and Gallant (See also:preface dated 1692, printed in See also:Jonson's See also:Miscellany, 1716, and separately, 1736); love lyrics designed, says the author, to impart to the See also:world " the faithful See also:image of an amorous See also:heart." It is not as a poet, however, but as the friend and correspondent of See also:Pope that Walsh is remembered. Pope's Pastorals were submitted for his See also:criticism by See also:Wycherley in 1705, and Walsh then entered on a See also:direct See also:correspondence with the See also:young poet. The letters are printed in Pope's See also:Works (ed. Elwin and See also:Courthope, vi. 49-6o). Pope, who visited him at Abberley in 1707, set See also:great value upon his See also:opinion. " Mr Walsh used to tell me," he says, " that there was one way See also:left of excelling; for though we had several great poets, we never had any one great poet that was correct, and he desired me to make that my study and my aim." The excessive eulogy accorded both by See also:Dryden and Pope to Walsh must be accounted for partly on the ground of See also:personal friendship. The See also:life of See also:Virgil prefixed to Dryden's See also:translation, and a " Preface to the Pastorals with a See also:short defence of Virgil, against some of the reflections of See also:Monsieur Fontenella," both ascribed at one See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)

In 1704 Walsh collaborated with See also:Sir See also:John See also:Vanbrugh and William See also:Congreve in Monsieur de Pourceaugnac, or See also:Squire Trelooby, an See also:adaptation of See also:Moliere's See also:farce.
