He fell far short of his promise to write a play per year for the Lincoln's Inn, often ignoring his obligation entirely and sometimes substituting a translation of Moliere's Monsieur de Pourceaugnac or a masque, The Judgment of Paris.
He fell far short of his promise to write a play per year for the Lincoln's Inn, often ignoring his obligation entirely and sometimes substituting a translation of Moliere's Monsieur de Pourceaugnac or a masque, The Judgment of Paris. He laid down rules for a genre in the Discourse on the Pindarique Ode and his own poetry includes The Mourning Muse of Alexis and The Tears of Amaryllis for Amyntas. After assisting John Dryden on a translation of Juvenal, he launched his original dramatic career with The Old Bachelour, and quickly followed with the smash hits Love for Love and The Double-Dealer. For 10 points, name this author of The Mourning Bride and The Way of the World.
