LITERARY CHARACTERS.

SPENSER.

In Todd's Life of .tpenser, in which there is
to be found much valuable informatioti r•gard-
ing the studies and pursuits of this great wan,
and the state of English literature at that pe-
riod, there is a curious letter of Spenser's friend,
Harvey, in which lie recommends to the author
of The Bury Queen the study of Petra►eh.—
" Think upon Petrarche, and perhappes it will ad.
vantice the wings of your imagination • degree
higher; at least if any thing can be added to
the loftiness of his couceite, whom gentle Mistress
Rosalind once reported to have all the intelligences
at commandinent, roil another time christened him
Signor Pegauo." The gentle Mistress Rosaliud
here mentioned, was a lady to whom Spenser was
early attached.
It •hews the poetical conversations with which be
and his mistress tnust have entertained themselves,
alluding, as Todd says, to the 66 pleasant days that
were gone and past ;"—for the lady deserted Signor
Prom), and tnarried his rival. In July 1580,
Spenier was, by the interest of the Earl of Lei.
tester and Sir Philip Sydney. appointed Seery.
tary to Lord Grey, Lord Lieutenant of Ireland.
Ile afterwards received, •a his return to England,
a grant of a considerable property in the county
of Cork. from Queen Elizabeth. Ilia residence,
every spot around which is classic grossed, is
described by Smith in his Natural aid Civil
History of Me Coaaty of Cork. The castle was
then nearly level with the ground. It must hove
been a noble situation ; a plain almost surrounded
by mountains, with • lake in the middle; ■nd dm
river Mull*, so often mentioned by Spenser, ran•
sting through his grounds.
