Excerpt from All for Love and the Spanish Fryar

John Dayden was born on the 9th of August, 1631, at Aid-winkle, a village in Northamptonshire. He was the eldest son of Erasmus Dryden, and Mary, daughter of the Rev. Henry Pickering. Both his parents belonged to good families, whose members had been conspicuous for their Puritanism and for their opposition to the crown. From a village school he passed to the tutelage of the famous Busby, at Westminster, and in 1650 was admitted at Trinity College, Cambridge, where he was elected a scholar. Here he seems to have devoted himself mainly to the Greek and Roman poets, and to have shown an independence of authority which rendered him on at least one occasion amenable to the college discipline. He took his bachelor's degree in 1654. In the same year his hither died and left him a small property. Whether Dryden returned to Cambridge after his father's death is uncertain; he at least never took the master's degree, and in 1657 we find him in London, secretary to his cousin, Sir Gilbert Pickering, a member of Cromwell's Council of State. In after years Dryden apparently cherished a certain dislike to Cambridge, expressed in some lines of a prologue written for an Oxford play (1681 ?):

Oxford to him a dearer name shall be
Than his own mother university;
Thebes did his green, unknowing youth engage;
He chooses Athens in his riper age.

Apart from three short pieces, of meagre promise, composed while at college, Dryden'a first poetical effort was his Heroic Stanzas on the Death of the Lord Protectory written, of course, in 1658. Their model was plainly D'Avenant's GonShert, but amid their formal rhetoric were touches of the inherent vigor which was to characterize his maturer work. Years afterwards, when Dryden was laureate and the champion in verse of the royal party, his eulogy of Cromwell was reprinted for his vexation. According to tradition, Dryden earned his livelihood for a while, after leaving his cousin's unploy, as a hackwriter for Herringman the publisher.
