John Wilmot, second Earl of Rochester, (1647-1680)

 

John Wilmot, second Earl of Rochester, wrote poetry, including  "My Lord All-Pride" from which we excerpt:

...



...so lewd a scribbler... writes,

....his brain... so weak

... his starved fancy is compelled to rake

Among the excrements of others' wit,

To make a stinking meal of what they shit.

....
