1080, Sipt. 24. Died, Samuel Butleb, is- thor of the celebrated poem of Hudibrus, i. sal ii. parts, London, 1662-3, 8vo.; iii. 1676, ]2bh. He was born at Strensham, in Worcesteisiiiix, Feb. 8, 1612, where hb father was a small fams, and received his education first at Woiccdo and then at Cambridge, where he remained m or seven years. His first employment was x< clerk to a justice of the peace at Earl's Cocmk, in his native county. His life was chirfT passed in obscurity and poverty ; and we kaoc, says D'lsraeli, little more of Butler than we h of^Shakspeare and of Spenser ! Long^eviBe, tke devoted friend of the poet, has unfoTtnmiu^ left no reminiscences of the departed genks whom he so intimately knew, and vho be- queathed to LoDgueville the only legacy a neg- lected poet could leave — all his manuscripts; and to his care, though not to his spirit, we an indebted for Butler's Remains. Uis friend u- tempted to bury him with the public honoms he deserved, among the tombs of his brotbei- bards in Westminster abbey ; but he was caa- pelled to consign the bard to an obscure buial- place in Paul's, Covent Garden. Many yeac after, when Alderman Barber raised an inscrip- tion to the memory of Butler in Westminster abbey, others were desirous of placing one o?o the poet's humble gravestone. The foUowiof; epitaph is attributed to Dennis. If it be Den- nis's, says D'Israeli, it must have been composed in one of his most lucid moments.
