Choose another writer in this calendar: by name: A B C D ... Z by birthday from the calendar Credits and feedback John Gay (1685-1732) English poet and dramatist, friend of Pope and Swift. Gay is remembered for his play THE BEGGAR'S OPERA (1728), which was the basis for Kurt Weil and Bertolt Brecht 's classical work Dreigroschenoper (1928, The Threepenny Opera). The play was highly successful and enabled Gay to spent more money on gambling and drinking. Its sequel, POLLY (1729), was supposedly suppressed by the prime minister Robert Walpole, who thus only incited people to buy its printed version. Let us drink and sport to-day, Ours is not to-morrow: Love with youth flies swift away, Age is naught but sorrow. Dance and sing, Time's on the wing, Life never knows the return of spring. (from The Beggar's Opera In 1708 Gay published 'Wine', a poem to celebrate the Act of Union between England and Scotland and in 1711 he published the pamphlet THE PRESENT STATE OF WIT. During these years he met Pope and began to visit the fashionable coffee-houses. In London Gay supported himself by working as a journalist. His first important poem, THE RURAL SPORTS (1713), was dedicated to Pope. The long poem comically glorifies descriptions of hunting and fishing. THE WHAT D'YE CALL IT (1715) was Gay's first satirical play, which he finished at the age of 30. The Beggar's Opera was first performed when the author was 43. John Pepusch, a German musician, wrote popular songs for the play. The story of highwaymen and corrupt law-keepers is still performed. Its sequel

20. HOASM: John Gay (16851732). John Gay. English poet and dramatist, who wrote the libretto toHandel’s Acis and Galatea. Best known as the creator of the ballad or parody http://www.hoasm.org/VIIA/Gay.html

John Gay Acis and Galatea. Best known as the creator of the ballad or parody opera. Works include The Beggar's Opera (1729), a parody of the newly fashionable Italian opera, which portrays London's criminal lowlife and includes a number of satirical swipes at Robert Walpole.; Polly (written as a sequel to but banned and not staged until 1779); Achilles (Covent Garden 1733). With Swift and Pope Gay formed the group of Tory satirists called the Scriblerians. Gay was born in Barnstaple, England and was educated at the town's grammar school. On leaving school he was apprenticed to a silk mercer in London, but being weary, according to Samuel Johnson, "of either the restraint or the servility of his occupation," he soon returned to Barnstaple, where he spent some time with his uncle, the Rev. John Hanmer, the Nonconformist minister of the town. He then returned to London. The dedication of his Rural Sports (1713 ) to Alexander Pope was the beginning of a lasting friendship. In 1714, Gay wrote The Shepherd's Week, a series of six pastorals drawn from English rustic life. Pope had urged him to undertake this task in order to ridicule the Arcadian pastorals of Ambrose Philips, who had been praised by The Guardian, to the neglect of Pope's claims as the first pastoral writer of the age and the true English Theocritus. Gay's pastorals completely achieved this goal, but his ludicrous pictures of the English country lads and their loves were found to be entertaining on their own account.
