[Volume 7 picture:] John Cleiveland, Esq., Aet. Circ. 32; This, this is he, who in Poetic Rage with scorpions lash'd the madness of the age.
London: Printed by and for J. Nichols, . . . MDCCLXXXII.
Since the Selection of CLEIVELAND's Poems given in this Volume, was printed off, it has been discovered, that FIVE of the pieces there attribted to that Poet were written by R. Fletcher; being extracted from the Second Part of Cleiveland's Works, 1687, 8vo., where under the title ADDITIONS, sixty-five pages . . . . are literally copied from a book intituled "Ex Otio Negotium, . . . by R. Fletcher. Lond. 1656." In the following page the several Poems are ascribed to their proper Authors.[I have marked RF those poems by Fletcher that are attributed to Cleiveland in the text but reassigned properly in the Contents.]
