Excerpt from The Works of John Dryden, Now First Collected, in Eighteen Volumes, Vol. 1 of 18: Illustrated With Notes, Historical, Critical, and Explanatory, and a Life of the Author
Notwithstanding the splendour of these great names, it must he confessed, that one common fault, in a greater or less degree, pervaded the most admired poetry of Queen Elizabeth's age. This was the fatal propensity.

Excerpt from The Works of John Dryden, Now First Collected, in Eighteen Volumes, Vol. 1 of 18: Illustrated With Notes, Historical, Critical, and Explanatory, and a Life of the Author
Had a selection been permitted, he would have excluded several of the Comedies, and some part of the Translations: but this is a liberty which has not lately been indulged to editors of classical poetry. Literary history is an important step in that of man himself; and the unseductive coarseness of Dryden is rather a beacon than a temptation.
In commencing this task, the Editor had hopes of friendly assistance, which might have rendered his toil more easy, and the result more accurate. Deprived of this by a concurrence of unlucky circumstances, he has both to dread the imperfection of his labours, and the consequence of perhaps an over-zeal to render his edition complete.
