Achitophel

In the Old Testament, David's traitorous counsellor, who deserted to Absalom. ( 2 Sam. xv.) The Achitophel of Dryden's satire was the Earl of Shaftesbury.

Of these the rebel the false Achitophel was first;
A name to all succeeding ages curst;
For close designs and crooked counsels first;
Sagacious, bold, and turbulent of wit;
Restless, unfix'd in principles and place;
In power unpleased, impatient in disgrace.

I. 150.
