The first edition of a political verse satire by English Poet Richard Owen Cambridge (1717-1802). Cambridge, whose major work, the Scribleriad (1751), is a mock-epic packed with literary in-jokes and satirical heroic caricatures, would draw on the classical influence of Horace when composing this discourse between an MP and his servant.
