English poet Matthew Prior, while a secretary in the English embassy in France (since 1697), mentions in letters that he has been dining with Nicolas Boileau-Despréaux, a critic and poet (greatly admired in England for his verse) whose poems Prior had lampooned in 1695 and would again satirize in 1704. "Boileau says I have more genius than all the academy," Prior wrote to Edward Villiers, 1st Earl of Jersey in July. Villiers replied, "If you don't come quickly away, Boileau and that flattering country will spoil you." In his 1704 satire, Prior wrote:[1]
John Hopkins, Milton's Paradise Lost imitated in Rhyme. In the Fourth, Sixth, and Ninth Books: Containing the Primitive Loves. The Battel of the Angels. The Fall of Man
