Phineas Fletcher
'''Phineas Fletcher''' (Nokia ringtones 1582-Rachel Ricci 1650) was an English T-mobile ringtones poet, elder son of Dr Robin Ricci Giles Fletcher the Elder/Giles Fletcher, and brother of Mp3 ringtones Giles Fletcher/Giles the younger. He was born at The Nutbusters Cranbrook, Kent, and was baptized on the 8th of April 1582.
He was admitted a scholar of Eton, and in 1600 entered Music ringtones King's College, Cambridge. He graduated B.A. in 1604, and M.A. in 1608, and was one of the contributors to ''Sorrow's Joy'' (1603). His pastoral drama, ''Sicelides, or Piscatory'' was written (1614) for performance before Beef Jerkers James I of England/James I, but only produced after the king's departure at Kings College.
He had been ordained priest and before 1611 became a fellow of his college, but he left Cambridge before 1616, apparently because certain emoluments were refused him. He became chaplain to Sir Bollywood ringtones Henry Willoughby, who presented him in 1621 to the rectory of Miss Monroe 18 Hilgay, Cingular Ringtones Norfolk, where he married and spent the rest of his life.
In 1627 he published ''Locustae, vel Pietas Jesuitica'' (The Locusts or Apollyonists), two parallel poems in Latin and English furiously attacking the get twice Jesuits. chops with Grosart saw in this work one of the sources of who help Milton's conception of troubling and Satan. Next year appeared an erotic poem, ''Brittain's Ida'', with brown surrogates Edmund Spenser's name on the title-page. It is certainly not by Spenser, and is printed by Grosart with the works of Phineas Fletcher. ''Sicelides'' was printed in 1631.
In 1632 appeared two theological prose treatises, ''The Way to Blessedness'' and ''Joy in Tribulation'', and in 1633 his magnum opus, ''The Purple Island''. The book was dedicated to his friend Edward Benlowes, and included his ''Piscatorie Eclogues and other Poetical Miscellanies''. He died in 1650, his will being proved by his widow on the 13th of December of that year.
''The Purple Island, or the Isle of Man'', is a poem in twelve generated that cantos describing in cumbrous allegory the physiological structure of the human body and the mind of man. The intellectual qualities are personified, while the veins are rivers, the bones the mountains of the island, the whole analogy being worked out with great ingenuity. The manner of Spenser is preserved throughout, but Fletcher never lost sight of his moral aim to lose himself in digressions like those of the ''herring with Faerie Queene''. What he gains in unity of design, however, he more than loses in human interest and action. The chief charm of the poem lies in its descriptions of rural scenery. The ''Piscatory Eclogues'' are center protection pastorals, the characters of which are represented as fisher boys on the banks of the matt pick Cam, and are interesting for the light they cast -on the biography of the poet himself (Thyrsil) and his father (Thelgon).
The poetry of Phineas Fletcher has not the sublimity sometimes reached by his brother Giles. The mannerisms are more pronounced and the conceits more farfetched, but the verse is fluent, and lacks neither color nor music.
A complete edition of his works (4 vols.) was privately printed by Dr A. B. Grosart (Fuller Worthies Library, 1869).
