Flatman, Thomas On the death of our late sovereign Flatman, Thomas. On the death of our late sovereign lord King Charles II of blessed memory. A Pindarique ode. London: printed for Benj. Tooke, 1685. 8 pp. Folio, disbound. First edition. "I should certainly admit that the minor Pindaric -- of which I have, for my sins or as part of them, probably read as much as any one living -- is one of the most dismal departments of English verse. But Flatman's is by no means exceptionally bad, and is at its best better than that of Oldham, or of Otway, or of Swift -- men with whom he cannot compare as a man of letters generally." -- George Saintsbury, Minor Poets of the Caroline Period, III, p. 279.
