Hannah Cowley - The Belle's Strategem
Hannah Cowley was born Hannah Parkhouse on March 14th, 1743, the daughter of Hannah (nee Richards) and Philip Parkhouse, a bookseller in Tiverton, Devon. As one might expect details of much of her life are scant and that of her early life almost non-existent. However, we do know that she married Thomas Cowley and that the couple moved to London where Thomas worked as an official in the Stamp Office and as a part-time journalist. Her career in the literary world seemed to happen rather late. It was whilst the couple were attending a play, thought to be sometime in late 1775, that Cowley was struck by a sudden necessity to write. Her first play, a comedy called The Runaway was sent to the fame...

The adieu and recal to love
Go, idle Boy! I quit thy pow'r; Thy couch of many a thorn and flow'r; Thy twanging bow, thine arrow keen, Deceitful Beauty's timid mien; The feign'd surprize, the roguish leer, The tender smile, the thrilling tear, Have now no pangs, no joys for me, So fare thee well, for I am free!

But sure, methinks, the alter'd day Scatters around a mournful ray; And chilling ev'ry zephyr blows, And ev'ry stream untuneful flows; No rapture swells the linnet's voice, No more the vocal groves rejoice;...
