Hume, Alexander

▪ Scottish poet
born , c. 1560, Polwarth, Berwick, Scot.
died Dec. 4, 1609, Logie, near Stirling, Stirling

      Scots poet known for a collection of religious poems.

      Hume probably attended the University of St. Andrews and spent four years studying law in Paris. After practicing law in Edinburgh and trying his fortune at the Scottish court, he was finally ordained, becoming in 1590 minister of Logie, where he remained until his death. Hume wrote a few ardent and puritanical religious tracts and published in the Scottish dialect a small collection of poems, Hymnes, or Sacred Songs (1599). He is remembered chiefly for the evocatively descriptive “Of the Day Estival.” “Epistle to Maister Gilbert Mont-Crief” is an interesting early example of autobiography.
