He was regarded, says Wood, as an " ingenious See also:person, but proud and humorous." It seems likely that he fought on the See also:- KING

See also:Chambers's See also:biographical See also:note in vol. ii. of Vaughan's See also:Works.See also:verse, Olor Iscanus, which takes its name from the opening verses addressed to the Isca (Usk), was published by a friend, probably Thomas Vaughan, without the author's consent, in 165r
.
The See also:book includes three See also:prose See also:translations from Latin versions of See also:Plutarch and See also:Maximus of See also:Tyre, and one in praise of a See also:country See also:life from See also:Guevara
.
The See also:preface is dated 1647, and the See also:reason for Vaughan's reluctance to See also:print the book is to be sought in the preface to Silex Scintillans: or Sacred Poems and Pious Ejaculations (r65o)
.
There he says: " The first that with any effectual success attempted a diversion of this foul and overflowing stream (of profane See also:poetry) was the blessed See also:man, Mr See also:George Herbert, whose See also:holy life and verse gained many pious converts, of whom I am the least." He further expresses his See also:debt in " The Match," when he says that his own " fierce, See also:wild See also:blood
.
. . is still See also:tam'd by those See also:bright fires which thee inflam'd." His debt to Herbert extended to the See also:form of his poetry and sometimes to the actual expressions used in it, and a See also:long See also:list of parallel passages has been adduced
.
His other works are The See also:Mount of See also:Olives: or Solitary Devotions, with a See also:translation, Man in See also:Glory, from the Latin of See also:Anselm (165x); See also:Flores Solitudinis (1654), consisting of two prose translations from Nierembergius, one from St Eucherius, and a life of See also:Paulinus, See also:bishop of See also:Nola; Hermetical Physick, translated from the Naturae Sanctuarium of Henricus Nollius; Thalia Rediviva; The Pass-Times and Diversions of a Country Muse (1678), which includes some of his brother's poems

As a poet Vaughan comes latest in the so-called " See also:meta-See also:physical " school of the 17th See also:century
.
He is a See also:disciple of See also:Donne, but follows him mainly as he saw him reflected in George Herbert
.
He analyses his experiences, amatory and sacred, with excessive ingenuity, striking out, every now and then, through his extreme intensity of feeling and his See also:close observation of nature, lines and phrases of marvellous felicity
.
He is of See also:imagination all compact; and is happiest when he abandons himself most completely to his See also:vision
.
It is, as Ch;non H
.
C
.
See also:Beeching has said, "' undoubtedly the mystical "See also:element in Vaughan's See also:writing by vihich he takes See also:rank as a' poet
.
. . it is easy to see that he has a See also:passion for Nature for her own See also:sake, that he has observed her moods; that indeed the See also:world is to him no less than a See also:veil of the eternal spirit, whose presence may be See also:felt in any, even the smallest See also:part." In this imaginative outlook on Nature he no doubt exercised See also:great See also:influence on See also:Wordsworth, who is known to have possessed a copy of his poems, and it is difficult to avoid seeing in " The See also:Retreat " the germ of the later poet's " See also:Ode on Intimations of See also:Immortality." By this poem, with " The World," mainly because of its magnificent opening See also:stanza,
" Beyond the Veil," and " See also:Peace," he is best known to the See also:ordinary reader
