	§14. Ambrose Philips and his "Pastorals;" His “Namby-Pamby” poems. VI. Lesser Verse Writers. Vol. 9. ...
		A native of the midlands, Ambrose Philips (born in 1675) was educated at Shrewsbury and St. John’s college, Cambridge (1693–6), of which he was fellow from 1699 to 1708.
		The satire stung, as was intended, and Philips bought a rod and hung it up at a popular coffee-house (Button’s) in order to carry out his threatened chastisement of Pope in public.
		Many critics have pronounced these sweetmeats delightful, though cloying; and, it must be granted, in spite of ridicule, that Philips had a genuine sensibility and a kindness for the elder music in English poetry which is to his credit and which his age, for the most part, ignored.

	Namby Pamby - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Philips had written a series of odes in a new prosody of seven syllable lines and dedicated it to "all ages and characters, from Walpole sterrer of the realm, to miss Pulteney in the nursery." This 3.5' line was a matter of consternation for more conservative poets, and a matter of mirth for Carey.
		Philips was a figure who had become politically active and was a darling of the Whig party.
		Alexander Pope had criticized Philips repeatedly (in The Guardian and in his Peri Bathos, among other places), and praising or condemning Philips was a political as much as poetic matter in the 1720's.

		Ambrose Philips and Rowe were born in 1671 and 1673, and Isaac Watts in 1674.
		With this inauguration of Philips his rival Pope was not much delighted; he therefore drew a comparison of Philips's performance with his own, in which, with an unexampled and unequalled artifice of irony, though he has himself always the advantage, he gives the preference to Philips.
		Knowing Philips to be slenderly supported, he took him to Ireland as partaker of his fortune, and, making him his secretary, added such preferments as enabled him to represent the county of Armagh in the Irish Parliament.

		It was at Pope's request that Gay burlesqued Philips's pastorals in his Shepherds Week, but the parody pleased by the very qualify of simplicity which it was intended to ridicule.
		Samuel Johnson describes the relations between Pope and Philips as a "perpetual reciprocation of malevolence." Pope lost no opportunity of scoffing at Philips, who figured in the Bathos and the Dunciad, as Macer in the Characters; and in the "Instructions to a porter how to find Mr.

	Weird Words: Namby-pamby
		We owe this word to a very public literary spat between the poets Alexander Pope and Ambrose Philips at the start of the eighteenth century.
		Philips is now virtually unknown and rarely read, and even his best known lines, from a poem called A Winter-Piece, describing the rigours of the Danish winter, which was printed in The Tatler in 1709 (“There solid billows of enormous size, / Alps of green ice, in wild disorder rise”), are merely competent.
		It’s odd to think it was largely because of the poetic diatribes against Philips by Carey and Pope that Philips is remembered today.

	namby-pamby - yourDictionary.com - American Heritage Dictionary
		, a satire on the poetry of Ambrose Philips (1674-1749) by Henry Carey (1687?-1743).]
		We are being very literary when we call someone a namby-pamby, a word derived from the name of Ambrose Philips, a little-known 18th-century poet whose verse incurred the sharp ridicule of his contemporaries Alexander Pope and Henry Carey.
		In poking fun at some children's verse written by Philips, Carey used the nickname Namby Pamby: "So the Nurses get by Heart Namby Pamby's Little Rhimes." Pope then used the name in the 1733 edition of his satirical epic The Dunciad.

		John, after some preliminary training at home, was sent to Winchester, where he distinguished himself by diligence and good-nature, and enjoyed two great luxuries,--the reading of Milton, and the having his head combed by some one while he sat still and in rapture for hours together.
		In 1703, Philips produced 'The Splendid Shilling,' which proved a hit, and seems to have diverted his aspirations from the domains of Aesculapius to those of Apollo.
		Philip's poem, too, is the first of the kind; and surely we should be thankful to the author of the earliest effort in a style which has created so much innocent amusement.

		Tickell particularly praised the pastoral poems of Ambrose Philips (1674-1749), but almost totally neglected those of Gay’s friend, Alexander Pope (1688-1744), which had been published at the same time: in Tonson’s Miscellany, Volume VI, May 1709, where Philips’s pastorals opened, and Pope’s closed, the volume.
		Philips was furious when he discovered the identity of the author and reputedly kept a birch at Button’s with which to beat Pope should he ever dare to enter.
		He saw an opportunity for a piece of literary fun that would enable him to get even with Philips for threatening Pope and exploited it for all he was worth.

		Because the age of Swift and Pope, the so-called “Augustan Age,” saw the mingling of brilliant men of letters with astute political wheeler-dealers, the reading will include a number of authors, familiar with each other, who are of historical as well as literary interest.
		Besides the verse and prose of Swift and Pope, we shall read the elegant essayist Joseph Addison (also Under-Secretary of State); the journalist, novelist, and spy Daniel Defoe; the dashing diplomat and poet Matthew Prior; the mawkish Ambrose Philips; and the true originator of the womanizing Macheath, John Gay.
		These writers will help to define for us the Augustan Age as a period of obliquity and ambivalence, coarseness and urbanity, raillery and rage.
