According to Edmund Gosse,* John Donne's Seventh Satire "closes with an outburst of splenetic raillery against political personages in high places."
But I'm buggered if I can find any more than five of Donne's Satires. Meaning that I may never have a juicy (Jacobean) example of "splenetic raillery".
* Writing in The life and letters of John Donne, dean of St. Paul's.
