Nota bene: Most of Rochester's poems were intended for a coterie audience, and were not prepared for publication; other poems found their way to poetic miscellanies. In order to establish better order and categorization on this page, I have used the structure created by Harold Love for his definitive edition of The Works of John Wilmot, Earl of Rochester, OUP 1999.

Nota bene: Again here using Harold Love's precedent:
"These are either poems by other writers that have
attached themselves in an organic way to the Rochester
corpus, or poems which have at one stage or another been
attributed to Rochester for other than trivial reasons,
and cannot be shown not to be his work."
