HUGH CAP.ET, firft king of France of the third

HUGHES (John), an Englilh poetical writer, born in 
1677, at Marlborough, in Wiltlhire. He received his edu¬ 
cation in London, and was a ftudent in the academy of 
Mr. Thomas Rowe, a dilfenting roinilter, at the-fame time 
■with Dr. Watts, Mr. 'Say, and others who arrived at emi¬ 
nence. Pie obtained a place in the office of ordnance, 
and was .fecretary to various cominilfions for purchasing 
lands for the ufe of the royal docks. Plis employments 
under government induced him to exercife his poetic ta¬ 
lent upon public topics; and he publilhed, in 1697, a 
Poem on the Treaty of Ryfwick; in 1699 his Court of 
Neptune, a poem on the return of king William from 
Holland ; and in 1702, at the death of that king, a Pin¬ 
daric ode, entitled Of the Houfe. of Naffavi. Thefe pieces 
gave him reputation; while his fentiments rendered him 
acceptable to the whig party, and connedted him with 
Addifon, Steele, and other perfons of diftindtion. He 
employed his pen likewile in various prole tranllations, 
and was one of the writers in the periodical papers of the 
Tatler, Spectator, and Guardian. His pure morality and 
literary tafte made him worthy to take a part in thefe 
works, though he had not the humour and vivacity which 
are requifite for handing prominent among elfiayilis. His 
tafte for mufic introduced him to the acquaintance of 
feveral eminent compoiers, and led him to write many 
pieces for mufical accompaniment. Of thefe, were an ode 
performed at Stationers’-hall; fix cantatas fet by Dr. Pe- 
pufeh; and an opera entitled Calypfo and Teiemachus, 
let by Galliard, and intended to prove that the Englilh 
language was as capable as the Italian of being allied to 
mufic. This lalt was much fuperior in the poetry to the 
Italian operas; but, for,want of being fupported by the 
firft fingers, it had little fuccels on the ftage. He alfo 
wrote a mafque entitled Apollo and Daphne, which was 
fet by Dr. Pepufch, and performed at Drury-lane. In 
1715, he publilhed, by fubicription, ah edition of Spenler, 
by which he gained credit as an elegant critic, though he 
dilplayed no great compafs of antiquarian knovrledge. 
Soon after this period he obtained the patronage of lord - 
chancellor Cowper, who.raifed him to an eafy competence 
by the appointment, in 1717, to the place of fecretary to 
the commilfions of the peace. A decline in his health 
interrupted the enjoj-ment of his good fortune, but did 
not preclude his literary exertions. Under great bodily 
languor, but with unabated mental faculties, he com- 
pofed his tragedy of The Siege of Damafcus, which was 
brought on the ftage on February 17, 1719-20, on which 
very night the author expired, at the early age of forty- 
three. His poems were collected foon after his death by 
his brother jabez, alfo a poet and a lcholar. In 1735, u 
complete collection of his poems and dramatic pieces, 
with an account of his life, was publilhed in 2 v.ols. 1 irao.

lection of Letters between feveral Perfons of Eminence,
