"The poem that follows exists in three versions, two manuscripts - the 'Purgatorium hibernicum' (c. 1670) and 'The Fingallian travesty' (c. 1686), both of which are now printed for the first time - and The Irish Hudibras, printed in London in 1689. The text ... is a coarsely-worded travesty of the sixth book of Virgil's Aeneid" -- introduction.
