IMPROMPTU ON THE ENGLISH COURT by JOHN WILMOT

Poet Analysis

First Line: HERE'S MONMOUTH THE WITTY
Last Line: AND THE KING FOR A GRAND POLITICIAN.
Subject(s): COURTS & COURTIERS;
Here's Monmouth the witty,
And Lauderdale the pretty,
And Frazier, that learned physician;
But above all the rest,
Here's the Duke for a jest,
And the King for a grand politician.
