Waller Letter Presents Bleak Warnings and Mockery on Marriage

A fragment from a letter of Mr Waller, read to the Earl of Bradford, gibes at the Lady Dorothy Sidney and Lord Spencer. It curses their union with fertility woes, long life, and endless progeny, then shifts to a mock plea for the Lady Lucy Sidney’s indulgence and ends with a courteous farewell from E. Waller.

A Satirical View of To-day and To-morrow in Elections

A biting verse sequence mocks political conduct and moral shifts in elections. It contrasts today’s bravado and tomorrow’s exposure, naming hypocrisy among leaders, judges, clergy, and merchants. The catalog-like stanzas blend political satire with collegiate verse and mock scientific reasoning.
