Thomas Brown (1662–1704) was an English translator and satirist whose active career occurred during the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. Although he was a productive writer of translations and satirical works in his time, his broader literary contributions have since been largely forgotten by modern readers, and much of his bibliography has slipped into obscurity.\n\nToday, Brown is remembered almost exclusively for a single short piece of writing. He is recognized as the potential author of a famous four-line gibe concerning John Fell. While his larger translations and satirical projects are no longer widely read, this brief, enduring verse has preserved his name and secured his lasting place in English literary history.
