Browne William

Browne William (1590-1645) was an English pastoral poet, born at Tavistock. He was author of "Britannia's Pastorals" and "The Shepherd's Pipe," a collection of eclogues and "The Inner Temple and Masque," on the story of Ulysses and Circe, with some opening exquisitely beautiful verses, "Steer hither, steer," among them. He was an imitator of Spenser, and a parallel has been instituted between him and Keats.
