Noel BedriNARRATOR
To achieve immortality in this sort of composition requires in the author satirical genius of the highest kind, and even such genius may not be sufficient if the objects of the satire are not themselves so illustrious or so notorious as to attract the interest of ages later than their own.
Noel BedriNARRATOR
Even the genius of Dryden might have failed to make Absalom and Ahitophel immortal had his satire embalmed a chicanery less distinguished than the intrigues of the politicians of the Restoration.
Noel BedriNARRATOR
And Zimri himself might have been forgotten had the portrait been drawn from an original less unhappily distinguished than Buckingham.
