Poetical Works

This book is a collection of poems penned by Charles Churchill. He was an English poet and satirist. Churchill is quite infamous for being the latter during his lifetime, which made him many enemies, and brought reprisals. His scandalous conduct brought down the censure of the dean of Westminster, although the protests of his parishioners led him to resign his offices, and from then on Churchill was free to wear his blue coat with metal buttons and much gold lace without remonstrance from the dean. Some of the titles included with this book are 'The Rosciad', 'The Apology Night', and 'Prophecy of Famine'.
