The Diaboliad is a poem written by William Combe in the year 1677. The poem is a satirical work that mocks the political and social structures of the time. It is written in rhyming couplets and tells the story of a group of devils who come to earth to cause chaos and destruction. The devils are depicted as mischievous and cunning, and they take pleasure in causing harm to the innocent people they encounter. The poem is divided into four parts, each of which focuses on a different aspect of society, including religion, politics, and the arts. Throughout the poem, Combe uses humor and irony to criticize the hypocrisy and corruption he sees in the world around him. The Diaboliad is considered an important work of English satire and is still read and studied today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
