		Although Shakespeare’s work is weakened, Suckling’s courtship scenes are the prettiest scenes in his play, and his hero Orsabrin is a brave spirit of true heroic strain.

	[minstrels] Why so Pale and Wan? -- John Suckling
		Suckling is one of the Cavalier poets, the poets of the court of Charles I. His writing is marked for its witty but ultra-casual style.
		This lyric poem is from his play Aglaura which had two endings (one tragic and one happy) but didn't quite make it in the box office.
		There has been much speculation about whether Suckling was someone who wrote in semi-serious vein to hide his sharp, social insights and rejection of ritual or someone who was never serious about the craft of writing.

		Thomas Carew, Sir John Suckling, and Richard Lovelace, together with Robert Herrick, the subject of a separate essay, frequently have been seen by the critical tradition to constitute a group, often termed 'Cavalier' poets.
		The configuration is of considerable antiquity, and some points of association between some of them were sometimes recognized in the mid seventeenth century, shortly after the death of Carew (in 1640?) and Suckling (in 1641?).
		The perception that they are in some senses a group persists, reinforced by modern anthologists as well as critics.
