Synopsis

Excerpt from The Poetical Works of Alexander Pope, Vol. 2: With His Last Corrections, Additions, and Improvements

The machinery, Madam, is a term invented by the critics, to signify that part which the deities, angels, or dcesnons, are made to act in a poem for the ancient poets are in one respect like many modern ladies, let an action be ever so trivial in itself, they always make it appear of the utmost importance. These machines I determined to raise on a very new and odd fanuda tion, the Rosicrusian doctrine of spirits.
