The Affectionate Shepherd
Two copies only of the poem by Barnfield here reprinted, are known to be preserved; one in Sion College
Library, and another, formerly in Heber\'s possession, mentioned in "Bibliotheca Heberiana," iv. 15. Its merits
and great rarity have pointed it out as a work deserving to be more known and appreciated. Barnfield is,
perhaps, chiefly remembered by his elegant pieces printed in the "Passionate Pilgrim," attributed by some to
Shakespeare; but Mr. Collier has distinctly proved them to belong to the less eminent poet. The "Affectionate
Shepherd" was his first production, as he himself confesses in the preface to his "Cynthia," 1595, and it has
received the well-merited commendation of Warton. Besides these poems, he is the author of "The Complaint
of Poetrie for the death of Liberalitie," 4to. 1598, and others published at the same time, reprints of which are
in the British Museum; also "The Encomium of Lady Pecunia, or the Praise of Money," a curious manuscript
in the Ashmolean Museum, and likewise printed in the author\'s life-time.
