BOLLOXIMIAN:

Thus in the zenith of my lust I reign,
I drink to swive, and swive to drink again,
Let other monarchs who their sceptres bear,
To keep their subjects less in love than fear,
Be slaves to crowns—my nation shall bee free,
My pintle only shall my sceptre be.
My laws shall act more pleasure than command,
And with my prick I'll govern all the land.

POCKENELLO:

Your grace at once hath from the powers above
A princely wisdom and a princely love,
Whilst you permit your subjects to enjoy
That freedom which a tyrant would destroy,
By this your royal tarse will purchase more
Than all the riches of the kings of Zoar.

BORASTUS:

May your most gracious cods and tarse be still
As boundless in your pleasure as your will.
May plentiful delights of cunt and arse
Be never wanting to your royal tarse.
May lust incite your prick with flame and sprite,
Ever to fuck with safety and delight.

John Wilmot

"Members of the New England high society rarely socialized with him. Dexter decided to buy a huge house in Newburyport from Nathaniel Tracy, a local socialite, and tried to emulate them.[1] His relationships with his wife, daughter, and son also suffered. This became evident when he started telling visitors that his wife had died (despite the fact that she was still very much alive) and that the woman who frequented the building was simply her ghost.[1] In one notable episode, Dexter faked his own death to see how people would react. About 3,000 people attended Dexter's mock wake. Dexter did not see his wife cry, and after he revealed the hoax, he caned her for not grieving enough.[6]

Dexter also bought an estate in Chester, New Hampshire. He decorated his house in Newburyport with minarets, a golden eagle on the top of the cupola, a mausoleum for himself and a garden of 40 wooden statues of famous men, including George Washington, William Pitt, Napoleon Bonaparte, Thomas Jefferson, and himself. It had the inscription, "I am the first in the East, the first in the West, and the greatest philosopher in the Western World"."

The Earl of Rochester no doubt is the closest to GG Allin in style, even if he is a blue-blooded classically educated noble. His satire on Charles II is a favorite, along with Signor Dildo. He was a 17th century rock star.

He sounds like a man who tried a lot of things and some of them worked.

>> No.6581300

>>6581276
From what I can gather from the Wiki article, this guy was some retarded that just did things willy nilly, even things that were highly unlike to work out, and lucked out.

Like, he happened to send to coal to a place that doesn't need it, and everybody there just happened to be on strike. Same goes for literally every other business.
He also just happened to hook up with a rich widow.

Really nigga, this guy had fortune on his side for sure.

Yeah, he was misled and made plenty of mistakes that just happened to work out and make him richer. There were way too many coincidences like that in his life to just have been luck. When it happens that often providence is a more apt way of putting it.

>> No.6582503

>>6582453
It's not luck, or providence, because those are not things.

What it is is a statistical anomaly.

You flip a coin a hundred times you probably won't get heads and tails fifty times each.

You might get any arrangement of figures, even a hundred heads or a hundred tails.

Aleister Crowley, a remarkable poet, adventurer, and occutlist.

>> No.6584545

>>6579903
People jokingly told him to "ship coal to Newcastle". He did so during a miners' strike at the time, and his cargo was sold at a premium.[4][5] At another time, practical jokers told him he could make money shipping gloves to the South Sea Islands. His ships arrived there in time to sell the gloves to Portuguese boats on their way to China.[4]

He exported Bibles to the East Indies and stray cats to Caribbean islands and again made a profit; eastern missionaries were in need of the Bibles and the Caribbean welcomed a solution to rat infestation.[1] He also hoarded whalebone by mistake, but ended up selling them profitably as a support material for corsets.[1]
