A96749	Furor-Poeticus (i.e.) propheticus. A poetick-phrensie. Some, (probably) will call it so: thus named, therefore, let it go. It is the result of a private-musing, occasioned by a publike report in the country, of the Parliaments restauration by General George Moncke, in February 1659. and meditated soon after the said General's arrival in London, in dorso pagi, recubans sub tegmine fagi: / by G.W.
