The following poems are not listed in the 'Register of Burlesque Poems' at the end of Richmond P. Bond's English Burlesque Poetry 1700-1750, New York, 1932, reissued 1964, or in A. J. Sambrook's 'Additions to Bond's Register of Burlesque Poems,' SB, 23 (1970), 176-9. The first two poems in my additional list are also cited by Edward Ames Richards in Hudibras in the Burlesque Tradition, New York, 1937, who also cites the one Hudibrastic poem given by Sambrook. Richards lists several poems not mentioned by Bond, but not all of them are burlesque by Bond's definitions. The poem by Ward which is given below is also listed in Howard W. Troyer's Ned Ward of Grubstreet, Cambridge, Mass., 1946. The data for all six poems are given in Bond's pattern.
