    • DrJ 43.9 pp. 7-12

      Copy, with sidenotes identifying persons satirized.

      A satire written in 1675 by John Sheffield, Earl of Mulgrave, but it was widely believed by contemporaries (including later Alexander Pope, who had access to Mulgrave's papers) that Dryden had a hand in it, a belief which led to the notorious assault on him in Rose Alley on 18 December 1679, at the reputed instigation of the Earl of Rochester and/or the Duchess of Portsmouth.

      First published in London, 1689. POAS, I (1963), pp. 396-413.

      The authorship discussed in Macdonald, pp. 217-19, and see John Burrows, Mulgrave, Dryden, and An Essay upon Satire, in Superior in His Profession: Essays in Memory of Harold Love, ed. Meredith Sherlock, Brian McMullin and Wallace Kirsop, Script & Print, 33 (2009), pp. 76-91, where is it concluded, from stylistic analysis, that Mulgrave had by far the major hand. Recorded in Hammond & Hopkins, V, 684, in an Index of Poems Excluded from this Edition.
