  William Drummond of Hawthornden - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
William Drummond (December 13, 1585–December 4, 1649), called "of Hawthornden" Scottish poet, was born at Hawthornden, Midlothian.
Drummond received his early education at the high school of Edinburgh, and graduated in July 1605 as M.A. of the recently founded University of Edinburgh.
Drummond spent two years at Bourges and Paris in the study of law; and, in 1609, he was again in Scotland, where, by the death of his father in the following year, he became laird of Hawthornden at the early age of twenty-four.

 William Drummond - LoveToKnow 1911
WILLIAM DRUMMOND (1585-1649), called "of Hawthornden," Scottish poet, was born at Hawthornden, near Edinburgh, on the 13th of December 1585.
His father was a gentleman usher at the English court (as he had been at the Scottish court from 1590) and William, in a visit to London in 1606, describes the festivities in connexion with the visit of the king of Denmark.
Drummond was essentially a follower of Spenser, but, amid all his sensuousness, and even in those lines most conspicuously beautiful, there is a dash of melancholy thoughtfulness - a tendency deepened by the death of his first love, Mary Cunningham.

The Drummonds of Carnock at this early time became a branch of the house of Stobhall, and from this branch William of Hawthornden was immediately descended.
The melancholy temperament of Drummond, we have before said, was one reason of his secluding himself from the world, and the ease and relief of mind which he sought, he had probably found, in his mode of life; but the rude shock which he now received rendered solitude irksome and baneful to him.
William, the eldest son, lived till an advanced age, was knighted by Charles II., and came to be the only representative of the knighted baronets formerly of Carnock, of whom in the beginning of this article we have made mention.

Drummond's first publication was a eulogy on the death of Prince Henry, the eldest son of James I of England, published in 1613.
Perhaps Drummond's most famous work is not poetic, however, but is instead his record of a series of remarkable conversations with Ben Jonson, who visited Drummond in 1618.
Drummond was careful to keep a record of Jonson's conversation, though much of what was said is the product (one supposes) of a good deal of drink rather than critical insight.
