THOMAS (1653–1723), better known as Tom d'Urfey, See also:English See also:song-writer and dramatist, belonged to a Huguenot See also:family settled at See also:Exeter, where he was See also:born in 1653. Honore d'See also:Urfe, the author of Astree, was his See also:uncle. His first See also:play, The See also:Siege of See also:Memphis, or the Ambitious See also:Queen, a bombastic rhymed tragedy, was produced at .the See also:Theatre Royal in 1676. He was much more successful with his comedies, which had brisk, complicated plots carried out in lively See also:dialogue. He had a See also:light See also:touch for fitting words on current topics to popular airs; moreover, many of his songs were set to See also:music by his See also:friends Dr See also:John See also:Blow, See also:- HENRY

William III. liked to hear him sing his songs, and as a strong Tory he was sure of the favour of Princess See also:Anne, who is said to have given Tom fifty guineas for a song on the Electress See also:Sophia, the next See also:heir in See also:succession to the See also:crown. " The crown's far too weighty, for shoulders of eighty," said d'Urfey, with an indirect compliment to the princess, " So See also:Providence kept her away,—poor old See also:Dowager Sophy." See also:Pope, in an amusing See also:letter to Henry See also:Cromwell (See also:Works, ed. Elwin and See also:Courthope, vi. 91) describes him as " the only poet of tolerable reputation in this See also: country." In spite of the success of his numerous comedies he was poor in his old See also:age. But his gaiety and invincible See also:good See also:humour had made him friends in the See also:craft, and by the See also:influence of Addison his Fond See also:Husband, or The Plotting Sisters was revived for d'Urfey's benefit at See also:Drury See also:Lane on the 15th of See also:June 1713. This performance, for which Pope wrote a See also:prologue full of rather faint praise, seems to have eased the
poet's difficulties. He died on the 26th of See also:February 1723, and was buried in St See also:- JAMES
