Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Return From Parnassus: Or the Scourge of Simony
The Return from Parnassus is, perhaps, the most singular composition in our language. This Satirical Drama seems to have been composed by the wits and scholars of Cambridge, where it was acted at the opening of the last century. The design of it was, to expose the vices and follies of the rich in those days, and to show that little attention was paid by that class of men to the learned and ingenious.
