[2], 22pp. Folio. Foxed & browned. Disbound. ESTC T4586; Foxon P226. First edition variant with 'Army, Death.', p.8, line 12. Foxon P226. It was written on the occasion of the Duke of Marlborough's victory, and commissioned by Robert Harley as a Tory counter to Addison's The Campaign (1704). Written in imitation of Milton, and using Addison's poem as a template, its double derivativeness was to later prove an embarrassment to Philips, who in an anecdote related by Harley, pleaded that 'Mr Secretary Harley made me write it'. (Ref: Houston, Alan. A Nation Transformed: England After the Restoration. CUP, 2001.).
