A Satyr." by Ebenezer Cooke is a satirical poem first published in 1708. Written in Hudibrastic couplets, it follows a tobacco merchant who travels to colonial Maryland expecting profit but encounters brutal conditions and corrupt colonists. The narrator faces swindling lawyers and shocking behavior from both Native Americans and English settlers, ultimately fleeing in disgust.
