-
An English dramatist and poet; born in Exeter, 1653; died in London (?), Feb. 26, 1723. He was a good-natured, simple-hearted, thoroughly vulgar and unliterary writer. His dramas, comedies, operas, tragedies, and songs, are exactly like what Sancho Panza would have written if he had taken to letters. Many, like "The Siege of Memphis" (1676), an extravagant tragedy, and "The Plotting Sisters" (1691), a comedy, are vestured in a regal pomp of verbiage; others, like the "Songs Complete" (1699), are of virginal simplicity, but not of virginal modesty.
