Englishcriticism.The Obseruations is the last and bestattempt in Elizabethan times to persuade Englishpoets to use classical metres.There was nothingvery new in the proposal.Almost a generationearlier,Gabriel Harvey had prided himself onbeing the Inventor of the English hexameter,andhe had pressed his views on Spenser.Campion,however,was mainly concerned with lyricalpoetry:he would have nothing to do with theEnglish hexameter,which had 'bene oftentimesattempted in our English toong,but with passingpitifull sucesse:and no wonder,seeing it is anattempt altogether against the nature of ourlanguage'.His attitude,at first sight,is the moresurprising because in the generation which hadfollowed the Shepheardes Calender(I579),Englishpoets had produced many incomparable lyrics,to  \n# INTRODUCTION\n\nwhich Campion himself had made notable contri-bution in the Booke of Ayres which he had publishedin collaboration with his friend the musician,Philip Rosseter,in 16oI.  \nBut Campion was primarily a classical scholarand had first made his reputation with his LatinPoemata(printed in I595).His real objection toEnglish rhymed verse was that it was so vulgarand easy,fit only for these 'lack-learning times';the truly ingenious wit required somethingcomplex to raise his mind ‘to a more high andlofty conceit.'Accordingly he proceeds to pointthe harder way by compiling a set of instructionsforthe use of classical metres in the English tongue.The Obseruations in the Art of English Poesie,inshort,is an experiment,and an experiment whichfailed;for Campion convinced no one,not evenhimself.When next he published English poetry,he returned tothe‘vulgar and vnarteficiall customeof riming'.The Obseruations,however,containsmany shrewd remarks on English quantity madebyone who was a skilled musician as well as an ablepoet;above allit called forth The Defence of Ryme,of which Professor Saintsbury writes as follows:'Not easily shall we find,either in
