Note 111 — AN ESSAY OF DRAMATIC POESY.
Reading edition
Cleiveland, being a violent cavalier, had a sort of claim to become a model after the Restoration. He has such notable conceits as the following comparison of a weeping mistress, to the angel in the scripture, who moved the pool of Bethesda, the first passage which occurred at opening the book:
——pious Julia, angel-wise, Moves the Bethesda of her trickling eyes, To cure the spittal world of maladies. Cleveland's Vindiciæ, 1677, p. 10.
