Daniel Baker, ‘On Mr. George Herbert's Sacred Poems, Called, The Temple' 1697

Baker’s lengthy tribute to Herbert demonstrates, it has been said, ‘how far separated the reputation and actual influence of Herbert could be’ (Summers, p. 16; the poem is also quoted by Leach, pp. 62–3). See also above, p. 13.
