Dyer, Sir Edward

The Concise Oxford Companion to English Literature | 2003 | | © The Concise Oxford Companion to English Literature 2003, originally published by Oxford University Press 2003. (Hide copyright information) Copyright

Dyer, Sir Edward (1543–1607), poet, was introduced at court by the earl of Leicester, and took part in the queen's entertainment at Woodstock in 1575. The most famous poem attributed to him, ‘My mind to me a kingdom is’, is probably not his work, but by Edward de Vere, earl of Oxford. One of the best of his surviving poems is his elegy on his close friend Sir P. Sidney, which begins ‘Silence augmenteth griefe’, printed in The Phoenix Nest (1593).
