‘Translated […] with an addition of divers other poems’.
Translation as poetic practice
in mid seventeenth-century England

Content within these narrow walls to dwell,

Yet canst so far that point of flesh out-swell

That thine Intelligence extends through all

Languages, that we Europæan call.

– William Hammond to Thomas Stanley in Poems and Translations (1647)
