Christopher,
Now that you mention it, I don't think I've ever read any Laurence Eusden, at least, not that I recall - or Nahum Tate. The names don't instantly spring to (my) mind.
I posted the list there to help with the comp, but it strikes me that the poets laureate would be a good topic for a thread about which ones were good and which ones were crap. It's probably been done already; is there anything that hasn't?
Back to the competition... it'll be interesting to see which laureate proves to be the most popular choice. Betcha it's Betjeman.
