Dildoides: A Burlesque Poem is a 1706 work attributed on its title page to Samuel Butler,[1] about a collection of dildos that was seized and destroyed by the authorities.[2] The poem circulated widely in manuscript as a bawdy satire.[3] Modern scholarship rejects the attribution to Butler[3] and has sometimes credited the poem instead to Sir Charles Sedley, who is named in the manuscript miscellany of Sir William Haward.[4]
