“These pieces (the ‘Tragedies’) are not calculated for the stage; but include some admirable lessons for sovereign power, and several choruses written with no small share of poetic vigour.”—Dr. Drake.
“His ‘Parænesis’ and ‘Aurora’ are almost classical performances, and well merit re-publication.”—Dr. Anderson.
“John Dunbar, Arthur Johnston, and Andrew Ramsay, have lauded the Earl of Stirling in their Latin Poetry. Daniel has complimented him before the Edition of his ‘Philotas,’ in 1605. Davies of Hereford has done the same in his ‘Scourge of Folly’ and ‘Wits Bedlam.’ Hayman addressed his plaudits to him in his ‘Quodlibets.’ Habington commended his ‘Tragick Raptures’ and ‘Doomsday’ in ‘Castara,’ &c.”—Park’s Edition of Walpole’s Royal and Noble Authors.
“A masculine and vigorous writer, abounding with moral and political instructions.”—George Ellis.
