T will be ſufficient to 0 of this „ Edition that the 


reader has here a much. more corret and compleat 


copy of the Dux Ap, than bas bitherto ap- 
geared : I cannot anſwer but ſome miſtakes may have ſlipt

| by the Names being now not only ſet at length, but juſti- _ 


fied by the authorities and reaſons gigen. 1 make 10 


doubt, the Author's aten motive to uſe real rather than | 


feig d names, was his care to preſerve the Innocent from | 


ay falſe Applications ; whereas in the former editions 


which had no more than the Initial letters, he was made, | 


by Keys printed bere, to burt the inoffenſive; and (what 


was worſe) to . his friends, by RI at 
Dublin. 3 


e Commentary which attends this Poem was ſent me, 
from ſeveral hands , and conſequently muſt. be uncqually 


written; . yet will it have one advantage over moſi Com- 
mentaries, that it i is not made upon conjefures, or at a 


remote di Manet of time: : and the reader cannot but derive 


one pleaſure from the very Qbſcurity of the perſons 1 


A treats of, that it partakes of the nature of a Secret, | 
zohich moſt people love to be let into, the" the Men or the 
Things be ever fo inconfiderable or trivial. . 


Of the Perſons it mas Judg' proper to give fame ac- 


count : for fince it is only in this monument that they

The firſt objection I have heard made 


to the Poem i is, that the perſons are too 
obſcure for Satire. The perſons them- 
| ſelves, rather than allow the objection, 


would forgive the fatire ; and if one could 


be tempted to afford it a ſerious anſwer, 
were not all aſſaſſinates, popular inſurrec- 
tions, the inſolence of the rabble without 
doors, and of domeſticks within, moſt wrong- 
fully chaſtized, if the Meanneſs of offen- 
ders indemnified them from puniſhment ? 2 
On the contrary, Obſcurity renders them 
more dangerous, as leſs thought of: Law 
can pronounce judgment only on open facts, | 
Morality alone can paſs cenſure on intenti- 

ons of — ſo that for ſecret calumny

publick puniſhment left, but Whar': 4 2 
writer inflicts. 
The next objeCtion 1 is, that theſe dart of 
authors are Poor. That might be pleaded 
as an excuſe at the Old Baily for leſſer crimes 
than defamation; (for tis the caſe of almoſt 
all who are try'd there) but ſure it can heres 
be none, for who will pretend that the! 
tobbing another of his reputation ſupplics 
the want of it in himſelf? I queſtion not but». 
ſuch authors are poor, and heartily wiſh 
the objection were removed by any honeſt 
livelihood. But Poverty hete is the acci- 
dent, not the ſubject: he who deſcribes ma- 
lice and villany to be pale and meagre, ex-' 
preſſes not the leaſt anger againſt paleneſs 
or leanneſs, but againſt malice and villan x. 
The apothecary i in Romzo and JuIIE TT 
is poor, but is he therefore juſtified in vend- „ 
ing poiſon? Not but poverty itſelf becomes 
a juſt ſubject of ſatire, when it is the con- 2 
ſequence of vice, prodigality, or negle& &. 
one's lawful calling; for then it increaſes 1 
the publick burden, fills the ſtreets and 
highways with Robbers, and the garrets 


with Clippers, As and Kr 0 . 
naliſts.

But e S r e of eis 
offend leſs in their morals, chan in their

be much better taken care of than that of

s it not pleaſant enough, to hear our au- 
thors crying out on the one hand, as if their 
perſons and characters were . facred for | 
Satire; and the, publick objecting on the 
other, that they are too mean even for Ri-

tive Nations . But the reſemblance holds MW 
in nothing more, than in their being equally IM 
abus d by the ignorant pretenders to Poetry © 
of their times; of which not the leaſt me- 
mory will remain but in their own writings, % 
and in the notes made upon them. What 
BOL EAV has dane in almoſt all his poems, 
our Author has only in this; I dare anſwer 
for him he will do it in no more; and on his 
principle of attacking ſew but who had ſlan- 
der'd him, he could not have done it at all, 
had he been confin'd from cenſuring obſcure 
and worthleſs perſons, for ſcarce! any other 
were his enemies. However, as the parity is 
ſo remarkable, I hope it will continue to the 
laſt; and if ever he ſhall give us an edition. 
of this Poem himſelf, I may ſee ſome of em

ter merit) as Perault and eee were at

un oe Wen Allow/dito:think | 
ak rater of our Engliſh Poet the more 
exniatile: He has not been a follower of for- 
tune or ſucceſs: He has-liv'd with the Great 


without flattery, been a friend to Men in 


power without penſions, from whom as he 
ask d, ſo he receiy'd no favour but what was 
done Him in his friends. As his Satires were 


the more juſt for being delay'd, ſo were his 
Panegyricks; beſtow'd only on ſuch perſons 
as he had familiarly known, only for ſuch 
virtues as he had long obſerv d in them, and 


out of power or out of faſhion T. A Satire 


therefore on writers ſo notorious for the con- 
trary practiſe, became no man ſo well as him- 
ſelf; as none (it is plain) was ſo little in their 
friendſhips, or ſo much in that of thoſe whom 
they had moſt abus d, namely the Greateſt 


and 25 of all Parties. Let me add a further

AUTHORS 
Concerning our PozT and his WoRKs. 


Manxrus ScxiBLtrus, Lecteri S. 


E FORE. we. preſent thee with our Exet- 
citations on the moſt delectable Pom of the 
MS Dunciad (drawn from the many volumes of 
our Adverſaria on modern Authors) we ſhall here, 
according to the jaudable uſage of Editors, collect the 
various judgments of the Learned concerning our Poet: 
Various indeed, not only of different authors, but of 
the ſame author at different ſeaſons. Nor ſhall we ga» 
ther only. the Teſtimonies of ſuch eminent Wits. as 
would of courſe deſcend to poſterity, and conſequent! 
be read without our collection; But we ſhall likewiſe 
with incredible labour {eek out for divers others, which 
but for this our diligence, could never at the diſtance 
of a few months appear to the eye of the moſt curi- 
ous. Hereby thou may'ft not only receive the delecta- 
tion of Variety, but alſo arrive at a more certain judg- 
ment, by a grave and circumſpect compariſon of the 
Witneſſes with each other, or of each with himſelf. _

WI purpoſed to begin with his Life; Parentage and 
Education: but as to theſe, even his Cotemporaries 
exctcdingly differ. One faith, he was educated at 
home; 4. another that he was bred abroad at St. 
Omer's by Jeſuits; 5. a third, not at St. Omer's, but 
at Oxford ; c. a fourth, that he had no Univerſity 
education at all. J. Thoſe who allow him to be bred 
at home, differ as much concerning his Tutor: at 


faith, he was kept by his father on purpoſe 3 e. a 
cond that he was an itinerant prieſt; /. a third, tha 
wasa Parſon; g. one calleth him a ſecular Clergyman 
_ of the church of Remez b. another, a Monk. 7. As 
tle agree they about his Father 5 whom one ſuppo- 
ſeth, like the father of Hefod, a tradeſman or mer-

"FT HIS Poem, as it celebrateth the moſt grave 
| and antient of things, Chaos, Night and Dul- 
6 _ _neſs, ſo is it of the moſt grave and antient 
kind. Homer (faith Ariſtotle] was the firſt who gave 
the Form, and (faith Horace) who adapted the Meaſure, 
to heroic poeſy, But even before this, may be ra- 
tionally preſumed from what the antients have left 
written, was a piece by Homer compoſed, of like na- 
ture and matter with this of our Poet. For of Epic 
ſort it appeareth to have been, yet of matter ſurely 
not unpleaſant, witneſs what is reported of it by the 
learned Archbiſhop aq ont in Odyſſ. x. And ac- 
cordingly Ariſtotlè in his poetic, chap. 4. doth further 
ſet forth, that as the Iliad and Odyſſey gave example 
bo Tragedy, ſo did this poem to Comedy its fir 

From theſe authors. alſo it ſhou'd ſeem, that the He- 
ro or chief perſonage of it was no leſs abſcure, and his 
underſtanding and ſentiments no leſs quaint and ſtrange 
(if indeed nat more ſo) than any of the actors in our 
poem. Max ir Es was the name of this perſonage, 


whom 


40 M. ScxinLekvs of the Por. 


whom Antiquity recordeth to have been Dance the 
Firt ; and ſurely from what we hear of him, not un- 
wofthy to be ha root of ſo ſpreading 7 tree, and ſo 
numerous a poſterity. The poem therefore celebratin 
him, was properly and abſolutely a Dunciad ; whi 
tho now unhappily loſt, yet is its nature ſufficiently 
known by the infallible tokens aforgfaid. And thus it 
doth appear, that the firſt Dunciad was the firſt Epie 
poem, written by Homer himſelf, and anterior even to 
the Iliad or Odyſley. * 

Now foraſmuch as our Poet had tranſlated thoſe 
two famous works. of Homer which are yet left ; he 
did conceive it in ſome fort his- to imitate that 
alſo which was loſt : And was therefore induced to be- 
ſtow on it the ſame Form which Homer 's is = 
to have had, namely that of Epic poem, with a title 
alſo framed after the antient Greek manner, to wit, 
that of Dunciad. ; 

Wonderful it is that ſo few of the moderns have 
been ſtimulated to attempt ſome Dunciad ! Since in 
the opinion of the tnultitude, it might coſt leſs pain 
and oil, than an imitation of the greater Epic. But 
poſſible it is alſo that on due reflection, the maker might 
find it caſter to paint a Charlemagne, a Brute or a God- 
Fi. with juſt pomp and dignity heroic, than a Mar- 
gites, a Codrus, a Fleckno, or a Tibbald. 4 

We ſhall next declare the occaſion and the cauſe 
which moved our Poet to this particular work. He 
lived in thoſe days, when (after providence had per- 
mitted the Invention of Printing as a ſcourge for the 
Sins of the learned) Paper alſo became ſo cheap, and 
printers ſo numerous; that a deluge of authors cover d 
the land: Whereby not only the peace of the honeſt 
unwriting ſubje& was daily moleſted, but unmerciful 
demands were made of his applauſe, yea of his money, 
by ſuch as would neither earn the one, or deſerve the 
other: At the ſame time, the Liberty of the Preſs 
was ſo unlimited, that it grew dangerous to refuſe 
them either; For they would forthwith publiſh ſlan- 
ders unpuniſh'd, the authors being anonymous; nay - 
the immediate publiſhers thereof lay ſculking ow

the wings of an Act of Parliament, aſſuredly intended 
for better purpoſes. 1 1 Cs 


4. Now our author living in thoſe times, did con- 
ceive it an endeavour well worthy an honeſt ſatireiſt, 
to diſſuade the dull, and puniſh the malicious, He only. 
way that was left. In that public · ſpirited view he laid 
the plan of this Poem, as the greateſt ſervice he was 
capable (without much hurt or being ſlain) to render 
his dear country. Firſt, taking things from their ori- 
ginal, he confidereth the Cauſes creative of ſuch au- 
thors, namely Dulne/s and Poverty ; the one born with 
them, the other contracted, by neglect of their pro- 
per talent thro? ſelf-conceit of great abilities. This 


truth he wrappeth in an Allegory, b. (as the conftruc- 


tion of Epic requires) and feigns, that one of 
theſe Golden” 3 up her abode with the 
other, and that they jointly inſpir'd all ſuch writers 
and ſuch works. c. He proceedeth to ſhew the gun 
lities they beſtow on theſe authors, and the effz#s they 
produce: d. Then the materials or ſtock with which 
they furniſh them, e. and (above all) that /e/-opinior f. 
which cauſeth it to ſeem to themſelves vaſtly greater 

than it is, and is the prime motive of their ſetting up 
in this ſad and ſorry merchandize. The great power 
of theſe Goddeſſes acting in alliance (whereof as the 
one is the mother of Induſtry, ſo is the other of Plod- 
ding) was to be exemplify'd in ſome ons, great and re- 
markable action. g. And none cou'd be more ſo than that 
vrhich our poet hath choſen, the introduction of the 
loweſt dw wan of the rabble in Smithfield to be the 
entertainment of the court and town; or in other 
words, the Action of the Dunciad is the 5. Removal 
of the Imperial ſeat of Dulneſs from the City to the 
polite world, as that of the Eneid is the Removal 
of the Empire of Troy to Latium. But as Hamer fing-:

1 As for the Characters, the publick hath already ac- 
| knowledged how juſtly they ate drawn: The manners 
ire ſo depicted, and the ſentiments ſo peculiar to thoſe 
to whom applied, that ſurely to transfer them to any 
Face wiſer, perſonages, wou'd be exceeding dif- 

cult FRY certain it is, that every perſon concerned, 
being conſulted apart, will readily own the reſemblance 
of eyery portrait, his own excepted. | 1 | 
" = eb Peſeripeims are ſingular; the Compariſons ve- 
IX quaint; the Narration various, yet of one colour. 
The purity and chaſtity of Diction is ſo preſerved, that 
in the places moſt ſuſpicious, not the 2words but only 
the images have been cenſured, and yet are thoſe 
images no other than have been ſanctified by antient 
and claſſical authority (tho? as was the manner of thoſe 
good times, not ſo curiouſly wrapped up) yea and 
. upon by moſt grave doctors, and approved 
critics. „ FE» 

As it beareth the name of Epic, it is thereby ſub- 
jected to ſuch ſevere indiſpenſable rules as are laid on 
all Neoterics, a ſtrict imitation of the Antient; inſo- 
much that any deviation, accompanied with whatever 
poetic beauties, hachalways been cenſured by the ſound 
critic. How exa&. that Imitation. hath been in this 
piece, appeareth not only. by its general ſtrufture, but 
by particular alluſions infinite, many - whereof have 
> Er both the commentator and poet himſelf; yea 
divers by his exceeding diligence are ſo alter d and in- 
terwoven with the reſt, that ſeveral have already been 
and more will be; by the ignorant abuſed, as altoge- 
ther and originally his own. | : 

Ina ws the whole poem proveth itſelf to be 
the work of our Author when his faculties were 
in full vigour and perfection: at that exact time 
when years have ripened the judgment, without di- 
miniſhing the imagination; which by good critics is 
held to be punctually at forty. For, at that ſeaſon it 
was that Virgil finiſhed his Georgics 3 and Sir Richard 
Blackmore at the like age compoſing his Arthurs, de- 
elared the ſame to be the _ Acme and pitch of _ 

| 3 2 . for 


44 M. ScaisIERus of the Po M. 


for Epic poeſy : tho fince he hath altered it to fl, 
the year in which he publiſhed his A/fFed. l. True it 
is, that the talents for Criticiſn, namely ſmartneſs, 
quick cenſure, vivacity of remark, certainty of aſſeve- 
ration, indeed all but acerbity, ſeem rather the gifts 
of Youth than of riper age: But it is far otherwiſe 
in Poetry; witneſs the works of Mr. Rymer and Mr. 
Dennis, who beginning with Criticiſm, became after- 
wards ſuch Poets as no age hath paralleld. With 
good reaſon therefore did our author chuſe to write 
his Efay on that ſubje& at twenty, and reſerve for 
his maturer years, this great and wonderful work 
of the Dunciad. VVV

Plays, Poems, and other pieces, and of ſeveral ano-

Poem, e eee, 
of Homer and Virgil; the very words Org. and 
Ninus are uſed by them, tho' our Poet (in compliance 
to modern nicety) has remarkably enrich'd and co- 
hour d his 1 as well as rais'd the verſification, 
in theſe. two Epiſodes. Mr. Dryden in Mack-Fleckno 
| has not ſerupled to mention the Morning Joa at 
which the filhes bite in the Thames, Piſtng-4lh, Ne- 


ligues of the Zum, Whipftitch, 1 my —, Ke. but 


our author is more grave, and (as a fine- writer ſays 
of Virgil in his Georgics) toſſes about his Dung with 
an air of Majeſty if we conſider that the Exerciſes 
of his Authors Yd with juſtice be no higher than 
. Tickling, . Chatt'ting, Braying, or Diving, it was no 
eaſy matter to uw ſuch Games as were proportion'd 
| ko the meaner degree of Bookſellers. In Homer and 
Virgil, Ajax and Niſus, the a drawn in this 
plight are _ we, whereas here there are ſuch, witn 
whom it reat impropriety to have join d any 
but vile i ag ; moe the natural connection there is 
between Libellers and common Nuſances. Neverthe- 
leſs I have often heard our author on, that-this*part 
of his Poem was (as it” frequently, hap happens) what coſt. 
him moſt trouble and pleas'd him leaſt : but that he 
| hoped twas excuſable, 8 — levell'd at ſuch as under - 
ſtand no delicate ſatire: Thus the politeſt men are 
ſometimes obliged to ſwear, when they happen to have 
to 7 with Porters and Oyſter-wenches. 8

call'd The Battle of Poets, of which Philips and Welſted 
were the heroes, and wherein our author was attack'd 
in his moral character, in relation to his Homer and 
Shakeſpear : He writ moreover a Farce of Penelope, in 
the preface of which alſo he was ſquinted at: and 
ſome malevolent things in the 'Britifh, London and 
Daily Journals. At the fame time the honeſt Gen- 


Yeman wrote Letters to Mr. P. in the ſtrongeſt terms

Further, Aan a his bas, be 
pears from the knowledge he manifeſts of the moſt 
private Authors of all the anonymous pieces againſt him, . 
and from his having in this Poem attacked (e) no man 
© living, who had not before printed, or Publiſhed, ſome 
ſcandal againſt this Gentleman. 
How I came poſſeſt of it, is of no concern to the 
; Rindin ; but it would have been a wrong to him, had 
I detain'd this publication: ſince thoſe Names which 
are its chief ornaments, die off daily ſo faſt, as muſt 
render it too ſoon unintelligible. If it provoke the Au- 5 
thor to give us a more perfect edition, I have my end. 
Who he js, I cannot fay, and (which is great pity) 
there is certainly 72 nothing in his Ityle and manner 
of writing, which can diſtinguiſh or diſcover him. 
For if it bears any reſemblance to that of Mr. Pope tis 
not improbable but it might be dane on purpoſe, with

and Expowne where as ſhall be founde faulte to theym

to expowne and englyſhe every dyffyculte that is 


therein, For he hath late tranſlated the epyſtlys of 


Ne, aud the boke of Dyodorus Syculus. and diverſe 
dthers werkes out of latyn in to englysſhe not in rude 
and olde harigage: but in polysſhed and ornate termes

erde Paſtoral. In this view it will appear that Virgil? 
eat only have too of his Eclogues allowed to be fuck: 
His firſt and ninth muſt be rejected, becauſe they de- © _ 
ſeribe the ravages of Armies, and oppreflions of the 5 - 

Innocent; Corydor's criminal Paſſion for Alaris thraws 1

are ndt proper to that ſtate of Concord; the eighth f.. 
| Preſents unlawful ways of procuring Love by Inchant - 
ments, and introduces a Shepherd whom an inviting |

 Salmafus, Rain, and the Critics i m general. They ; a : I 1

Wenrritur are to be admitted as Paſtorals; and eren 

ont of that number the greater part will be excluded 1 
for one or other of the Regin, abovementioned. $0 
that when I remark'd in a former paper, that Firgils s 8

Ruficity of the Deric,. as _ = the help of the old 
obſolete Roman Language, as Philigs hath by the anti: 
| quated E Englifþ : For example, might he not have 
. aid Qui inſtead of Cai; quoijum for cujum | volt for 
gult, &c. as well as our Modern hath Welladay for 
alas, whilom far of old, make. mack for deride, and 
| withſs Vounglings for ſimple Lambs, Kc. by which 
| means he had attained as much of the Air of Aer 
tus, as Philips hath of Spencer / 
. Mr. Pope hath fallen into the ſame error with | 
ef His Clowns do not converſe in all the Sin - 
flicity proper to the country : His Names are borrow 'd . 
from Theorritus and Virgil, which are improper to the 
Scene of his Paſtorals. He introduces Daphnis, Alexis 
and Thyrfis on Britiſh Plains, as Virgil had done be- 
fore him on the Mantuan. Whereas Phitigs, who hath 
the ſtricteſt regard to propriety, makes choice of names 
peculiar to the Country, and more agreeable to'a _ 
of Delicacy ; ſach as Kaum, en a etl -and 
Colin Clut. TP,

Simplicity we have deſcribed it) yet it requires great 
Reading, both of the Ancients and Moderns, to be a 
maſter of it. Philips hath given us manifeſt proofs'of 
' his Knowledge of Books. It muſt be confeſſed his com- 
petitor hath imitated ſome ſingle ' thoughts of the An- 

_ cients well enough, (if we conſider he NA not the 
happineſs of an Univerſity Education) -but he hath | 
diſperſed them, here and there, without that order 
and method which Mr. Philips obſerves, whoſe whok 
chird Paſtoral is an inſtance how well he hath ſtudied

gifs thoughts to the ſtandard of 'Paſtoral as his con- 
tention of Colin Clout and the Nightingale ſhows with 
what exaltueſi he hath imitated very Vine in Strada. 


6. When I remarked it as a principal fault, to in- 


troduce Fruits and Flowers of a Prreign growth, in de- 
ſcriptions where the Scene lies in our own Country, I * 
did not deſign that obſervation ſhould extend alſo to 


5 Animals, or the ſenſitive Life ; ; for Philips hath wi ith 


great judgment deſcribed Wolves in England in his firſt 
Paſtoral. Nor would I have a Poet laviſhly confing 
| himſelf (as Mr. Pops hath done) to one particular /ea- 
ſon of the Year, one certain time of the day, and 
one unbroken Scene in each Eclogue. Tis plain Speucer 
neglected this Pedantry, who in his Paſtoral of No- 
"0m mentions the mournful ſong of the Nightingale: 
Sad Philomel ber fong i in Tears doth ſeep... | 
And Mr. Philips, by a poetical Creation, hath raiſ- 
| ed up finer beds of -Flowers than the moſt induſtrious 
Gardiner; his Roſes, Endives, Lillies, King · cups and 
Dae blow all in the ſame ſeaſan. 8 
J. But the better to diſcover the merits of our. 
| 4 contemporary Paſtoral Writers, I ſhall endeavour 
to draw a Parallel of them, by ſetting ſeveral of their 
particular thoughts in the ſame light, whereby it will 
be obvious how much Philips hath the advantage.

in vogue, has neither Senſe in his Dung bre WW %

Mr. POPE underſtood no an, 


He hath undertaken: to tranſlate Homer from the 
 Greeh, of which he knows not one word, into Eug- 


Ib, of which he underſtands 46 little. (p) I wonder 
| how this Gentleman wou'd look ſhouldit be diſcover'd, 
that he has not tranſlated ten verſes together in any 
book of Homer with juſtice to the Poet, and yet he 


_ dares reproach his felow-writers with not underſtanding 
Greek. 7) He has ſtuck ſo little to his Original, as 


to have his knowledge in Greek called in queſtion. (+) I 
mould be glad to know which it is of all Homer's Ex- 
cellencies, which has ſo delighted the Ladies, and the 
Gentlemen who judge like Ladies? ( 


But he has a notable talent at Burleſque ; his abs. | 


| flides ſo naturally into it, that he hath burleſqu'd Me 
mer without deſigning it. (7) |
