Description (What the record is about)
-
This seemingly unique manuscript is a poem written in a single hand with a dedication to William Humble from Nathan Newbury. The title page identifies "Cupid triumphant" as "an heroic poem wherein the liberty of chaste affection and the sovereignty of virtuous beauty are vindicated from the tyranny of avarice, detraction and envy. The love of gold is the dross of love." A piece of blue paper at the back of the booklet has written on it in a different hand: "True character of sanctified legion, 1683".
