Excerpt from The Poetical Works of George Crabbe (Selected): With Prefactory Notice, Biographical and Critical

The life of Crabbe has many points of interest, and of these his courtship especially merits atten tion. While at Woodbridge he won the affections of Miss Sarah Elmy, and during the long and trying years which intervened before he was placed in circumstances which enabled him to consummate his courtship in matrimony, he never relinquished the hope of one day claiming his bride. Reduced to his last sixpence, with his clothes and watch sold or in pawn, and, still worse, owing money for his lodgings, he nevertheless protested that he had not lost courage.
