[Restoration poems], [ca. 1688-1689].

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/702177444

Manuscript on paper, in various hands, of a collection of 72 satirical verses and songs, primarily commenting on events and political and literary figures in 1688-89. A poem titled The Invasion declares, "O! The year 88 that shall in story be prais'd, for a Parliament sunk, and Six Regiments rais'd;" another is mockingly addressed "For her Royall Highness the Princess Anne of Denmark on the Birth of the Duke at Gloster sung att Hampton Court." A Satyr On The Poets mocks such poets as Wycherley and Shadwell; other items include A Satyr on The Most Eminent Court Ninnys; Advice To The Test-Holders; On The Speakeing Wooden Head; The Lovers Session; New Letter to Julian; A Poem On Matrimony by Sir Charles Sedley; and The Puritans Lecture by Abraham Cowley.

1 v. (ca. 257 p.) ; 30 x 20 cm.
