This manuscript later passed into the hands of Alexander Pope who added a notation: "Who compares this Original of Mr. Stepney's with that printed in Drydens Juvenal, will see ye vast advantages it receiv'd by passing under his hands. I question not, the same wd appear of ye Other translations there, if ye originals were extant to make the same comparison. This was what that great Man did for almost all his acquaintance."
