He was one of the Elizabethan master technicians, his faultless ear leading him to the composition and mastery of many popular and obscure forms, including the sestina, for which he is deservedly remembered (his was a double sestina, resurrected by Auden much later, undoubtedly one of the models that revived use of that form by contemporary poets).Sidney's prose work here, A Defence of Poesie, is well known and a still powerful apologetic for the respectability of serious verse-craft.This is free, complete, perfectly lineated and formatted, and will be an excellent addition to your collection of poetry books for Kindle.The poems begin at location 817.From the master himself, the close of A Defence of Poesie:...But if (fie of such a but!) you be born so near the dull-making cataract of Nilus, that you cannot hear the planet-like music of poetry; if you have so earth-creeping a mind, that it cannot lift itself up to look to the sky of poetry, or rather, by a certain rustical disdain, will become such a Mome, as to be a Momus of poetry; then, though I will not wish unto you the ass's ears of Midas, nor to be driven by a poet's verses, as Bubonax was, to hang himself; nor to be rhymed to death, as is said to be done in Ireland; yet thus much curse I must send you in the behalf of all poets; that while you live, you live in love, and never get favour, for lacking skill of a sonnet; and when you die, your memory die from the earth for want of an epitaph. - Sidney, Philip (2011-03-24). A Defence of Poesie and Poems (Kindle Locations 812-817). . Kindle Edition.

While there is little to say about this work that has not already been said let us hope that this work does not suffer its original fate again viz. lost. For a time this gem of concise clearly reasoned defense of poetry was lost because of being overlooked due to its introduction. It was assumed to be a treatise on equine matters.Students may wish to consider why Sir Phillip began his work this way and there are a multitude of theories. Perhaps he was the original prankster or making historical elusive allusions to Plato and his charioteer. In any event it is great literature and worth reading even after 500 years. Read it to entertain yourself and stimulate your imagination. And guess what? It is not that long.
