Publisher's Synopsis
The Poetical Works of John Dryden V1 is a collection of poems by the renowned English poet, John Dryden. The book includes a wide range of Dryden's works, from his early poems to his later, more mature pieces. The poems cover a variety of themes, including love, politics, religion, and nature. The collection also includes Dryden's famous translations of classical works, such as Virgil's Aeneid and Ovid's Metamorphoses. The book is an excellent representation of Dryden's poetic style, which is known for its clarity, wit, and elegance. The Poetical Works of John Dryden V1 is a must-read for anyone interested in English poetry and the literary history of the 17th century.Were I the inventor, who am only the historian, I should certainly conclude the piece with the reconcilement of Absalom to David. And who knows but this may come to pass? Things were not brought to an extremity where I left the story: there seems yet to be room left for a composure; hereafter there may be only for pity. I have not so much as an uncharitable wish against Achitophel, but am content to be accused of a good-natured error, and to hope with Origen, that the devil himself may at last be saved.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
