The six eclogues, one for each weekday, were written under the influence of Alexander Pope (cf. Cambridge history of English literature).

Authorship of "Roxana, or, The drawing-room," "The bassette-table" and "The toilett" attributed severally to Alexander Pope, John Gay, and Lady Mary Wortley Montagu (cf. Ralph Straus. The unspeakable Curll).  These three works were first published piratically by Edmund Curll in 1716 (misdated 1706 on title-page) as "court poems" (cf. Cambridge history of English literature).
