Note 1217 — Chapter XIV · (continued 2)
Reading edition
Hall’s Satires are praised by Campbell, as well as Warton, full as much, in my opinion, as they deserve. Warton has compared Marston with Hall, and concludes that the latter is more elegant, exact, and elaborate. More so than his rival he may by possibility be esteemed; but these three epithets cannot be predicated of his satires in any but a relative sense.
