Musophilus

Musophilus is a long poem by Samuel Daniel, first published in 1599.

Among Daniel's most characteristic works, it is a dialogue between a courtier and a man of letters, and is a general defence of learning, and in particular of poetic learning as an instrument in the education of the perfect courtier or man of action. It is addressed to Fulke Greville, and written, with much sententious melody, in a sort of terza rima[?], or, more properly, ottava rima with the couplet omitted.
