The first of these poetical pasquinadoes is of rare occurrence; but the second is so uncommon, that it is believed only one more is at present known. Dr. Anderson supposes (probably not having seen more than the title) that it was an answer returned by D'Avenant himself to the mock commendatory verses designed for a second edition of Gondibert; but it is apparent from the matter and the style, that each of these lampooning pamphlets must have been fabricated by the same club of wits.

"The consummate elegance of this gentleman entitles him to very considerable attention. Sprightly, polished, and perspicuous, every part of his works displays the man of sense, gallantry, and breeding; indeed many of his productions have a certain happy finish, and betray a dexterity both of thought and expression much superior to any thing of his contemporaries, and, on similar subjects, rarely surpassed by his successors."-Headley.

Fuller says of Cleveland that he was, a general artist, pure latinist, exquisite orator, and excellent Poet. His style was masculine, his epistles pregnant with metaphors; his lofty fancy seemed to stride from the top of one mountain to another, thereby making to itself a constant level of continued elevation. All his poems are incomparable, so that to praise one were to detract from the rest."
