This epic poem tells the story of a magical castle, inhabited by figures who represent different aspects of indolence and sloth. Written in the style of Spenserian allegory, the poem is notable for its lush descriptions, its fanciful imagery, and its satirical wit. It also features numerous allusions to classical mythology and literature, and provides a fascinating glimpse into the cultural and intellectual milieu of the eighteenth century.
