Herbert, George (1593–1633), poet. A brother of the preceding, he seemed marked out for the career of a courtier. The death of
James I and the influence of N.
Ferrar led him to study divinity. In 1630 he was ordained and became rector of Fugglestone with Bemerton, near
Salisbury.
His most famous prose work,
A Priest to the Temple; or the Country Parson (1652), outlines a sober and well-balanced ideal of the English clergyman. His collection of poems, entitled
The Temple, was entrusted to Ferrar on his deathbed and published in 1633. Herbert was a man of deep religious conviction and remarkable poetic gifts. His compositions in current use as hymns include ‘The God of love my Shepherd is’ and ‘Let all the world in every corner sing’. Feast day in parts of the Anglican Communion, 27 Feb.
