A Lover of Poetry Defends Virtue Against Scandal
A critic denounces a poet named Savage for profaning poetry with scandal and blasphemy, arguing the work mocks religion and clergy, praising Horace’s rule and Pope’s repetition while condemning vulgarity. The piece defends virtue, notes the author’s alleged misdeeds, and urges readers to condemn the verse. The page also reports military movements and court decisions, including Eugene of Savoy’s departure, cannon arrivals, and a Nash vs East India Company case.
