Cousin Table of Contents Introduction A B ... Appendix COWPER, WILLIAM (1731-1800). —Poet, was the s. of the Rev. John C., Rector of Great Berkhampstead, Herts, and Chaplain to George II. His grandfather was a judge, and he was the grand-nephew of the 1st Earl C., the eminent Lord Chancellor. A shy and timid child, the death of his mother when he was 6 years old, and the sufferings inflicted upon him by a bullying schoolfellow at his first school, wounded his tender and shrinking spirit irrecoverably. He was sent to Westminster School, where he had for schoolfellows Churchill, the poet ( q.v.) , and Warren Hastings. The powerful legal influence of his family naturally suggested his being destined for the law, and at 18 he entered the chambers of a solicitor, where he had for a companion Thurlow, the future Chancellor, a truly incongruous conjunction; the pair, however, seem to have got on well together, and employed their time chiefly in "giggling and making giggle." He then entered the Middle Temple, and in 1754 was called to the Bar. This was perhaps the happiest period of his life, being enlivened by the society of two cousins, Theodora and Harriet C. With the former he fell in love; but his proposal of marriage was opposed by her

John Cowper being rector of the parish as well as a chaplain to George II . On both the father's and the mother's side he was of ancient lineage. The father could trace his family back to the time of Edward IV when the Cowpers were Sussex landowners, while his mother, Ann, daughter of Roger Donne of Ludham Hall, Norfolk, was of the same race as the poet John Donne , and the family claimed to have Plantagenet blood in its veins. Of more human interest were Cowper's immediate predecessors. His grandfather was that Spencer Cowper who, after being tried for his life on a charge of murder, lived to be a judge of the court of common pleas, while his elder brother became lord chancellor and Earl Cowper, a title which became extinct in 1905. The Rev. John Cowper was twice married. Cowper's mother, to whom the memorable lines were written beginning "Oh that these lips had language", was his first wife. She died in 1737 at the age of thirty-four, when the poet was but six years old, and she is buried in Berkhampstead church. Cowper's stepmother is buried in Bath, and a tablet on the walls of the cathedral commemorates her memory. The father, who appears to have been a conscientious clergyman with no special interest in his sons, died in 1756 and was buried in the Cowper tomb at Panshanger. Only one other of his seven children grew to manhood John, who was born in 1737.

Oh thou resort and mart of all the earth, And spotted with all crimes; in whom I see Much that I love, and more that I admire, And all that I abhor; thou freckled fair That pleases and yet shocks me, I can laugh And I can weep, can hope, and can despond, Feel wrath and pity, when I think on thee!

The simplicity of his work and his treatment of natural subjects was in marked contrast to the sophistication of the fashionable Pope; he was an important forerunner of the Romantics, and his unfinished poem 'Yardley Oak' was particularly admired by Wordsworth. Other notable poems include 'The Poplar Trees', 'The Journey of John Gilpin' and 'The Castaway', while The Task is his most ambitious work in verse. Olney Hymns (1779) contains his popular hymns 'God moves in a mysterious way' and 'Oh, for a closer walk with God'. His autobiographical Memoir was published in 1816, and his letters have been widely appreciated, providing an intimate picture of the man.

William Cowper's On Slavery Tackles The Notion Of Making A Nation Great Through Check out william cowper s On Slavery Tackles the Notion of Making a Nation Great Through Moral Authority Submitted by Timothy Sexton at Associated http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/516967/william_cowpers_on_slavery_tackl

Find Publish Community Join ... History William Cowper's On Slavery Tackles the Notion of Making a Nation Great Through Moral Authority William Cowper's brave and forceful poem "On Slavery" takes a point of view toward the issue of British slavery that is categorically against the evil practice, and applies the concept of the abolition of slavery as an example of how Britain should go about maintaining a position of leadership in the world through the exercise of moral authority. This stunning idea has practical applications in today's world among Americans. Just as England was becoming the dominant power at the time Cowper wrote this poem, so is America today the dominant country in the world. And just as Cowper extrapolates the treatment of other human beings through his condemnation of slavery as a way to make a point about how even the greatest power is impotent if it abuses its power, so is America in the grips of a debate over our treatment of terrorist suspects. The question put forth in both eras and encapsulated in Cowper's poem is that credibility is inextricably tied to moral leadership and with a corruption at the heart of that leadership, all else is destined to fall to the wayside.

This gesture of friendship resulted in many hymns grounded in prayer and scripture which still give much encouragement and incentive to worship today, two hundred years later, all over the world. These critics who to faith no quarter grant, But call it mere hypocrisy and cant To make a just acknowledgment of praise And thanks to God for governing our ways, Approve Confucius more and Zoroaster When Cowper and Mary Unwin moved from Weston, Underwood in their final years to stay with his cousin Johnson, he wrote these lines in pencil on the window shutter of a bedroom overlooking the garden of the Lodge, The shutter was closed up for twenty years to save paying the window tax. It is now kept at the Cowper and Newton Museum, Olney. “Oh! with what a surprise of joy,” wrote Newton a few days after Cowper’s death, “would he find himself immediately before the throne, and in the presence of his Lord! All his sorrows left below, and earth exchanged for heaven."

Content provided in partnership with print share link The meticulous melancholia of a poet - William Cowper Discover May, 1987 by Gina Maranto THE METICULOUS MELANCHOLIA OF A POET The pre-Romantic English poet William Cowper (1731-1800) was plagued for most of his life by the ailment known then as melancholia. Beginning at age 21, he suffered several protracted bouts of, as he described them, ''dejection of the spirits'' that were heralded by a ''nervous fever.'' Often incapable of rousing himself to write poetry, he composed his best verse, including The Task, for which he became famous, under ''assignment'' from the woman with whom he lived platonically for 31 years, Mrs. Un win, a clergyman's widow, and from their neighbor, Lady Austen. Yet even during his bleakest spells, he recorded in journals and letters his ever-present feeling of unease and foreboding, his fear ''that a cloud may come over me.''
