ABSTRACT

A tribute to Herbert of a different order was paid by Cardell Goodman, Fellow of St John’s College, Cambridge. In a very appealing cluster of poems he wrote periodically from 1633 through the late 1640s and the early 1650s – but first published in 1958 – Goodman not only displayed the influence of Herbert throughout but proclaimed that influence explicitly in the prefatory epistle given below. See also above, p. 4.
