[4.] Cf. Dunciad A, II, ll. 271-78, and Dunciad B, II, ll. 283-90, in James Sutherland, ed., The Dunciad in The Poems of Alexander Pope, Vol. V, 2nd ed. (London, 1953). Oldmixon was less prominent in the 1728 edition (Dunciad A, II, ll. 199-202); when he was elevated to a higher level of dullness he was succeeded in his original place by Leonard Welstead (Dunciad B, II, ll. 207-10).
