Englands Helicon

Englands Helicon

Englands Helicon is an anthology of Elizabethan lyric poems compiled by John Flasket, and first published in 1600. There was an enlarged edition in 1614. The poets involved cannot all be identified, since there are a number of poems marked as 'anonymous': they do include Edmund Bolton, William Byrd, Henry Chettle, Michael Drayton, Robert Greene, Christopher Marlowe, Anthony Munday, George Peele, Walter Raleigh, William Shakespeare, Philip Sidney, Edmund Spenser, John Wootton, William Smith. The most celebrated poem is Marlowe's 'Come live with me and be my love'. This and several other lyrics have musical settings extant, in this case by William Corkine.
