Published anonymously. Contains poems addressed to Ben Jonson, Dr. Donne, George Sandys, Sir W. Raleigh, and one on Burton's Anatomy of Melancholy."

"In these poems," says Mr. Gilchrist, "there is a neatness, an elegance, and even a tenderness, which entitle them to more attention than they have lately obtained." They are also highly commended by Headley.

"There is nothing by way of prelude or introduction to this work, except a prose address from "the Publishers to the Author." A stupid piece of deception was practised respecting these poems, which, for its clumsiness, deserves a memorandum. Whether this volume had sold but little from being published without an author's name, or whether a number of copies had fallen into the hands of some book-jobbing ignoramus who meant to make the most of them, certain it is that some time after publication a new title page made its appearance, the former one was displaced, the date altered, and the poems were called Ben Jonson's. As the volume is still scarce, the trick, perhaps, was soon detected, for, besides a total dissimilarity in the style of Old Ben and Bishop King, there is a copy of verses inscribed "To my Sister, Annie King," and at page 83 "To my dead friend, Ben Jonson." Howell, the multifarious letter-writer, says: In Dr. King's poems I find not only heat and strength, but also an exact concinnity and evenness of fancy."Bibliotheca Anglo-Poetica, 1815 (where a copy was priced £4 4s).

Prefixed to this copy is an exceedingly clever portrait of the author in pen-and-ink drawing.
