HAKE, THOMAS GORDON (1809-1895), English poet, was born at Leeds. He studied medicine at St. George's hospital and at Edinburgh and Glasgow. In 1839 he published a prose epic V ates, republished in Ainsworth's magazine as Valdarno, which attracted the attention of D. G. Rossetti. In after years he became an intimate member of the Rossetti circle. In 1871 he published Madeline; 1872, Parables and Tales; 1883, The Serpent Play; 189o, New Day Sonnets; and in 1892 his Memoirs of Eighty Years.
