Marlborough won a series of victories over the French in the War of the Spanish Succession (1701-1714, known in America as Queen Anne’s War), and he and his wife, Sarah, had great influence over the queen in the early years of her reign.
Devoted to the Church of England, Anne was inclined to favor the pro-church Tory faction rather than its Whig opponents, but, influenced by the Marlboroughs and Lord Treasurer Sidney Godolphin, earl of Godolphin, she at first excluded the Tories from office.
Later, however, her friendship with the Marlboroughs cooled, and in 1710 she took advantage of popular dissatisfaction with the Whigs to remove Godolphin; Marlborough was dismissed the following year.

Even though The Godolphin Arabian was republished after twenty-one years, it never reached a wide reading public, partly due to cost, partly to its style and partly to its topic becoming unacceptable in the new wave of evangelical rigor which greeted the new century.
Stephens was most frequently anthologized and remembered in the last part of the nineteenth century and in the first years of the twentieth (21) for his most assertively public poems, those that expressed patriotic sentiments which appealed to a public undergoing a rapid and intense political education.
