Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Nahum Tate" in English language version.
The success of Absalom and Achitophel was so great that Dryden was pressed by several persons to continue his satirical commentary upon the times. This he declined to do, but he engaged his friend Nahum Tate (1652–1715), the poet and dramatist, to write a second part to Absalom and Achitophel. He supervised and revised the whole poem and added the verses characterizing Thomas Shadwell and Elkanah Settle as Og and Doeg.
