Abstract
Sidney Godolphin (1645–1712), first Earl of Godolphin, the nephew of the Civil War poet responsible for The Destruction of Troy, was a translator and versifier as well as a very prominent courtier and politician. One or two of his literary productions were published posthumously. Unprinted and unknown until now have been his verse translations of Nicolas Boileau: Satires 2 and 5, and one canto of L’Art poétique. The two satires are here introduced and transcribed in full from the British Library manuscript in which they appear.
