One work by this poet describes Oxford as "that sweet city with her dreaming spires," and is named after a Vergil character who was a shepherd. Another poem, based on a story by Glanvil, tells of a person who joined a group that  "had arts to rule as they desired the workings of men's brains." That work is addressed to a shepherd, and the person described had been an Oxford student. Another work claims that the world "seems to lie before us like a land of dreams" and that we are "swept with confused alarms of struggle and flight". It begins "The sea is calm to-night", and its final line is "where ignorant armies clash by night". Name this English poet who wrote "Thyrsis" [THUR-sis],  "The Scholar-Gipsy", and "Dover Beach".
