NOTES
Thomas Cooke (1703-1756), often called "Hesiod." Cooke, was a very active English translator and author who ran afoul of Alexander Pope and was mentioned as one of the "dunces" in Pope's Dunciad. Originally bound with "The triumphs of love and honour : a play, as it is acted by His Majesty's servants, at the Theatre-Royal in Drury-Lane."
