Ideas Mirrour is a collection of sonnets and poems written by the English poet Michael Drayton and published in 1594. The book is divided into two parts, the first part containing 51 sonnets and the second part containing 18 poems. The sonnets are written in the traditional Petrarchan form and explore themes such as love, beauty, and the passage of time. The poems, on the other hand, are written in a variety of forms and cover a range of topics, including nature, politics, and mythology. Throughout the book, Drayton displays his mastery of language and his ability to convey complex emotions and ideas through verse. Ideas Mirrour is considered a significant work in the history of English literature and is still read and studied today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Michael Drayton

Michael Drayton (1563-1631), probably the bestselling English poet of his era, wrote prolifically in many different genres. He is remembered particularly for his love sonnets ("Since there's no help, come, let us kiss and part...") and historical poems ("Fair stood the wind for France..."). "One of the most lovable of our elder poets" (in A. H. Bullen's much-quoted description), he was buried in Westminster Abbey.
