Alluding to Rochester's well-known couplet:
For pointed satire I would Buckhurst chuse; The best good man, with the worst-natured muse.
Allusion to Horace's 10th Satire, Book I.
The satires of Lord Dorset seem to have consisted in short lampoons, if we may judge of those which have been probably lost, from such as are known to us. His mock "Address to Mr Edward Howard, on his incomparable and incomprehensible Poem, called the British Princes;" another to the same on his plays; a lampoon on an Irish lady; and one on Lady Dorchester,—are the only satires of his lordship's which have been handed down to us. He probably wrote other light occasional pieces of the same nature.
