In 1651, an anonymous royalist published an anti-Parliament playlet called The Terrible, Horrible Monster Out of the West. Even better than The Arraignment of Mr Persecution (1645), Ariadne Deserted by Theseus and Found and Courted by Bacchus (1654), or A Royal Arbor of Loyal Poesie (1660).
I wonder if Judith Viorst, author of Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day, had a previous life as a Restorationist. Probably not.
