He published in '637 his first See also:volume of poems, entitled Poeticall Varieties, and in the same See also:year appeared A Pill to Purge See also:Melancholy. In 1639 he recited one of his poems before See also:- KING

time forward Jordan's output in See also:verse and See also:prose was continuous and prolific. He freely borrowed from other authors, and frequently re-issued his own writings under new names. During the troubles between the king and the See also:parliament he wrote a number of Royalist See also:pamphlets, the first of which, A See also:Medicine for the Times, or an Antidote against See also:Faction, appeared in 1641. Dedications, occasional verses, prologues and epilogues to plays poured from his See also:pen. Many volumes of his poems See also:bear no date, and they were probably written during the See also:Commonwealth. At the Restoration he eulogized See also:- MONK (O.Eng. munuc; this with the Teutonic forms, e.g. Du. monnik, Ger. Witch, and the Romanic, e.g. Fr. moine, Ital. monacho and Span. monje, are from the Lat. monachus, adaptedfrom Gr. µovaXos, one living alone, a solitary; Own, alone)

Monk, produced a masque at the entertainment of the See also:general in the See also:city of London and wrote pamphlets in his support. He then for some See also:pears devoted his See also:chief See also:attention to See also:writing plays, in at least one of which, See also:Money is an See also:Ass, he himself played a See also:part when it was produced in 1668. In 1671 he was appointed See also:laureate to the city of London; from this date till his See also:death in 1685 he annually composed a See also:panegyric on the See also:lord See also:mayor, and arranged the pageantry of the lord mayor's shows, which he celebrated in verse under such titles as London Triumphant, or the City in Jollity and Splendour (1672), or London in Luster, Projecting many See also:Bright Beams of See also:Triumph (1679). Many volumes of these curious productions are pre-served in the See also:British Museum.
In addition to his numerous printed See also:works, of which perhaps A Royal See also:Arbour of Loyall Poesie (1664) and A Nursery of Novelties in Variety of See also:Poetry are most deserving of mention, several volumes of his poems exist in See also:manuscript. W. C. See also:Hazlitt and other 19th-See also:century critics found more merit in Jordan's writings than was allowed by his contemporaries, who for the most part scornfully referred to his voluminous productions as See also:commonplace and dull.
