Oxford. He was a careful reader of See also:Virgil and of See also:Milton. In 1701 his poem, The Splendid See also:Shilling, was published without his consent, and a second unauthorized version in 1705 induced him to See also:print a correct edition in that See also:year. The Splendid Shilling, which See also:Addison in The Taller called " the finest See also:burlesque poem in the See also:British See also:language," recites in Miltonic See also:blank See also:verse the miseries consequent on the want of that piece of See also:money.

Henry St John, who commissioned him to write a Tory See also:counter-blast to See also:Joseph Addison's See also:Campaign. Philips was happier in burlesquing his favourite author than in genuine See also:imitation of a heroic theme. His See also:Marlborough is modelled on the warriors of See also:Homer and Virgil; he rides precipitate over heaps of fallen horses, changing the See also:fortune of the See also:battle by his own right See also:arm. Cyder (1708) is modelled on the Georgics of Virgil. Cerealia, an Imitation of Milton (1706), although printed without his name, may safely be ascribed to him. In all his poems except See also:Blenheim he found an opportunity to insert a eulogy of See also:tobacco. Philips died at See also:Hereford on the 15th of See also:February 1708/9.
