Samuel Daniel : The History of the Civil War
"[Charles] Lamb must have spoken dismissively of [Samuel] Daniel's poem The History of the Civil War, but Coleridge, when he read it through [in Lamb's copy of Daniel's Poetical Works], thought quite well of it, so he annotated it to try to win Lamb over ... [writing]: "'Dear Charles, I think more highly, far more, of the 'Civil Wars,' than you seemed to do (on Monday night, Feb. 9th 1808) -- the Verse does not Teize me; and all the while I am reading it, I cannot but fancy a plain England-loving English Country Gentleman, with only some dozen Books in his whole Library ...'"

Samuel Daniel : [poems complete works]
'I devoured poetry and nothing but poetry until I became insensible to poetry. Take an example; I happened upon some fat volumes of Campbell's "British Poets", the complete works of from four to eight poets in each volume which cost me 6d. apiece. They had shabby worn leather bindings, and the type was on the small side and closely set. But I ploughed through them, doggedly, as if reading for a bet, or an imposed task. One volume I remember contained the poetical works of Samuel Daniel, Browne, Giles and Phineas Fletcher, Ben Johnson, Drummond (of Harthornden), John Donne, and some more minor ones. Another contained along with "also rans" Cowley, Milton and "Hudibras" Butler. And, I repeat, I ploughed through them with a stout heart, but little sense, and a dwindling understanding.'
