Note 17 — JOHN TUTCHIN SELECTED POEMS

Reading edition

Defoe's gloss on "Piteous Satyr" is "Satyr in Praise of Folly and Knavery." (The True-Born Englishman, 1700, p. 37.) Since he regards this as the title of the "Satyr upon Honesty," Defoe may be confusing A Pindarick Ode with Tutchin's next satire, A Search after Honesty (1697).
