Information
The large body of poetic works Michael Drayton produced during his writing career covered most of the kinds of poetry current at the time – pastoral, historical, epistolary, mock-heroic, religious, sonnets. His major work was the great topographical poem ‘Poly-olbion’ (1612 and 1622) in which this reference to the Kentish Stour occurs.
Quotations
Thus Thanet …
Doth give herself to tillage of the ground.
With sundry sorts of grain whilst thus she doth abound.
She falls in live with Stour, which coming down from Wye,
And towards the goodly isle, his feet doth nimbly ply.
