Opis

Excerpt from The Poetical Works of John Hughes, Vol. 1 of 2: Containing His Miscellanies, Epistles, Masks, Opera, &C., &C., &C The Ode to the Creator of the World was printed in 1713, at the particular instance of Mr. Addison, and is mentioned with applause in the Spectator. This, and The Ecstacy, published since the death of the Author, are justly esteemed two of the noblest odes in our language. Our Author's acquaintance with the great wits of his time appears to have been very general; but of his intimacy with Mr. Addison there is a remarkable proof. We have it on good authority that Cato was finished and acted by his persuasion. It had long wanted the last act, which he was desired by Addison to supply. If the request was sincere, it proceeded from an Opinion, whatever it was, that did not last long; for when Mr. Hughes came, in a week, to show him his first attempt, he found half the act written by Addison himself.
