Though he regarded poetry as merely the entertainment of his idle hours, he wrote four epics in 10 or more books, Prince Arthur (1695), King Arthur (1697), Eliza (1705), and Alfred (1723). To each poem he wrote a preface censuring the lewdness and impiety of modern wits, a subject also treated in his verse Satyr Against Wit (1700).
