About William Collins

William Collins (December 25, 1721 – June 12, 1759) was an English lyric poet, seen as one of the most influential precursors of Romanticism.

Originators like William Collins:

When Music, heavenly maid, was young,
While yet in early Greece she sung.

To fair Fidele's grassy tomb
Soft maids and village hinds shall bring
Each opening sweet of earliest bloom,
And rifle all the breathing spring.

Too nicely Jonson knew the critic's part;
Nature in him was almost lost in Art.
