Sir Francis Hastings Doyle

1810–1888

Sir Francis Hastings Doyle (1810–1888) was a British poet and civil servant who served as Professor of Poetry at Oxford.

The poems here are taken from Alfred H. Miles (ed.), The Poets and the Poetry of the Century (London: Hutchinson, 1891–1897), vol. 4, from the Internet Archive scans of that edition. Spelling is that of the anthology; Miles's biographical essay and extracts from longer poems are omitted, and only poems that could be read cleanly from the scan are included.

Poems (8)

  1. The Red Thread of Honour. (Told to the Author by the Late Sir Charles James Napier)
  2. The Mameluke Charge
  3. Father of Gods and men, on thee we call
  4. The Private of the Buffs
  5. The Epicurean
  6. The Old Cavalier
  7. The Loss of the Birkenhead
  8. The Doncaster St. Leger
