PARODY ON DRYDEN’S “THREE POETS,” &c
by William Crowe (1745–1829)
Three Poets, born in different lands and ages, Three different Heroes took to grace their pages: The first, a Buonaparte, fierce to fight; The next, a Methodistic Hypocrite: No human character combined more evil, So Milton for his Hero took the Devil.
