Of all the singers of the English poetic renaissance of the seventeenth century, none sang more sweetly than Richard Lovelace whose tiny body of musical verse still delights the lovers of poetry. Imprisonment for his part in the Revolution in 1642 could not quench his ardor nor still his lyre, and he sang unceasingly of his Aramantha or his Lucasta. His lyrics have all the freshness of the Elizabethan morning, and breathe the spirit of liberty that characterized his age and is the keynote of the work of such of his followers as Byron and Shelley.
Professor Murdock in English 50a will speak on Lovelace and his contemporaries Carew and Suckling at 2 o'clock in Sever 11. Any vagabond should rouse himself from his after luncheon lethargy to attend this lecture.
