About the author

Thomas D'Urfey

1653–1723

A lively Restoration-era writer, songwriter, and playwright, he became famous for comic verse and stage works that captured the wit and noise of London life. His songs were so popular that they circulated widely in print and performance, helping preserve the flavor of late 17th- and early 18th-century entertainment.
