A satirical poem by Samuel Butler, directed against the Puritans, published 1663-78: so called from the name of its hero, who is a Presbyterian country justice. Accompanied by a clerk, one of the Independents, he ranges the country after the manner of Don Quixote, with zealous ignorance endeavoring to correct abuses and repre superstition. The greatest single production of wit of this period, I might say of this country, is Butler's "Hudibras." It contains specimens of every variety of drollery and satire, and those specimens crowded together into almost every page. The proof of this is that nearly one-half of his lines are got by heart, and quoted for mottoes.
