  • Hannah Cowley

    Hannah Cowley (14 March 1743 – 11 March 1809) was an English dramatist and poet. Although Cowley's plays and poetry did not enjoy wide popularity after the nineteenth century, critic Melinda Finberg rates Cowley as "one of the foremost playwrights of the late eighteenth century" whose "skill in writing fluid, sparkling dialogue and creating sprightly, memorable comic characters compares favourably with her better-known contemporaries, Goldsmith and Sheridan." Cowley’s plays were produced frequently during her lifetime. The major themes of her plays; including her first, The Runaway (1776), and her major hit which is being revived, The Belle's Stratagem (1780); revolve around marriage and how women strive to overcome the injustices imposed by family life and social custom.

    Early success

    Born Hannah Parkhouse, she was the daughter of Hannah (née Richards) and Philip Parkhouse, a bookseller in Tiverton, Devon. Sources disagree about some details of her married life, citing her marriage date as either 1768 or 1772 (De la Mahotière, Mary. "[Cowley, née Parkhouse, Hannah]". Oxford Dictionary of National Biography. Retrieved 14 October 2006.  and claiming she had either three or four children. Shortly after her marriage to Thomas Cowley, the couple moved to London, where Thomas worked as an official in the Stamp Office and as a part-time journalist.

    The Runaway

    by: Bee Gees

    So many things that you could say or do
    Don't wanna say goodbye
    So many nights that I would cry for you
    But you were cold as ice
    Now I'm searching for
    someone I can be sure of
    Sacrifice the only one that I need
    No hideaway for the runaway
    Every creature of love had excited me
    Someone is breaking your heart (heart) (heart)
    So tomorrow I'll tell you that I'm sorry
    And it's too late to worry if
    someone is breaking your heart (heart) (heart)
    Just an echo of a distant dream
    That slowly disappears in the
    magic of the ecstasy
    That flows between the tears
    Then before my eyes the crystal was broken
    I swallowed every promise you made
    No hideaway for the runaway
    Every creature of love had excited me
    Someone is breaking your heart (heart) (heart)
    So tomorrow I'll tell you that I'm sorry
    And it's too late to worry if
    someone is breaking your heart (heart) (heart)
    Moonlight is cruel as the light
    And the future is only a lie
    Oh, baby
    Birds of a feather will fly
    I'm alone in the night
    No hideaway for the runaway
    Every creature of love had excited me
    Someone is breaking your heart (heart) (heart)
    So tomorrow I'll tell you that I'm sorry
    And it's too late to worry if
    someone is breaking your heart (heart) (heart)
