John Taylor (1578-1653) (1578โ€“1653)

That I should write of cities' situations,Or that of countries I should make relations:Of brooks, crooks, nooks; of rivers, bournes and rills,Of mountains, fountains, castles, towers and hills,Of shires, and piers, and memorable things,Of lives and deaths of great commanding kings,I touch not those, they not belong to me;But if such things as these you long to see,Lay down my book, and but vouchsafe to readThe learned Camden or laborious Speed.
