The Poetical Works of William King Volume 1 is a book that contains the collected works of the poet William King. Published in 1781, this volume includes two of King’s most notable works: ''The Art of Cookery'' and ''Imitation of Horace’s Art of Poetry.''''The Art of Cookery'' is a satirical poem that pokes fun at the pretentiousness and excesses of the culinary world. In the poem, King takes aim at the elaborate and extravagant dishes that were popular in his time, and he offers up his own humorous recipes for dishes like ''a fricassee of snails'' and ''a salmagundy of frogs.''''Imitation of Horace’s Art of Poetry'' is a parody of the famous Roman poet Horace’s treatise on the art of poetry. In the poem, King offers up his own humorous advice on how to write poetry, poking fun at the conventions and clich�����s of the genre.Overall, The Poetical Works of William King Volume 1 is a witty and entertaining collection of poetry that showcases King’s talent for satire and parody.And Art Of Love, In Imitation Of Ovid�������s Art Of Love.
