A Study Guide For Sir John Suckling S Song Why So Pale And Wan

Excerpt from The Poems of Sir John Suckling The fascinating verse of Sir John Suckling, courtier and wit, has not been accessible to the general reader because of the scarcity or high price of the various editions. The present is the only collection of his poems which has been published in this country. Of comparatively recent English editions, that of 1836, with its ponderous memoir by the poet's worthy relative, the Rev. Alfred Suckling, is somewhat scanty, omitting many verses which are given here; while that of 1874, on the contrary, is objectionable because of its retention of many lines and whole poems which are altogether unfit for modern readers, and which do not appear in this volume. In the garden of Suckling's verse, side by side with rare blossoms of delightful fragrance, grew unsightly and noisome weeds.
