Jacobean and Caroline poets such as Ben Jonson (1573-1637), Robert Herrick (1591-1674), and Sir John Suckling (1609-1642) remained influential in restoration age . The two most important Restoration poets, John Dryden (1631-1700) and John Milton (1608-1674), began their careers before 1660.
According to Dryden ("Preface to The Conquest of Grenada"), the rhyming couplet in iambic pentameter has the right restraint and dignity for a lofty subject
Samuel Butler's Hudibras, iambic tetrameter couplets with unusual or unexpected rhymes became known as Hudibrastic verse. It was a formal parody of heroic verse, and it was primarily used for satire.
Jonathan Swift would use the Hudibrastic form almost exclusively for his poetry.
Dryden, Rochester, Buckingham, and Dorset dominated verse, and all were attached to the court of Charles.
Aphra Behn, Matthew Prior, and Robert Gould, by contrast, were outsiders who were profoundly royalist.
