This article discusses how the Virgilian intertexts of the stag hunt in the 1642 edition of Coopers Hill support the interpretation of the passage as a commentary on the trial and execution of the Earl of Strafford, and how they allow Denham to criticize Charles I’s involvement in Strafford’s death. Despite this criticism, other texts, including Denham’s revised (1653/5) edition of the poem, subsequently adapted the stag-hunt episode to commemorate Charles’s own trial and execution. The false presentation of the 1653/5 Coopers Hill as an edition that prints an original, authentic version of the poem from 1640 draws on the Virgilian technique of retrospective prophecy to make its status as a commentary on Charles’s execution more explicit. Denham repeated this technique in The Destruction of Troy (1656), which heavily revised an excerpt from his 1630s manuscript translation of Aeneid II–VI, and asserts the composition date of this earlier version in order to ‘foretell’ Charles’s execution. Analysing these Virgilian post eventum prophecies shows how both texts simultaneously censure and mourn Charles I, and also identifies increasingly self-recriminatory elements to Denham’s own royalism.

后见之明：库珀希尔斯的维吉尔式回顾性预言与特洛伊的毁灭

本文讨论了1642年版库珀斯希尔（Coopers Hill）雄鹿狩猎的维吉尔式互文如何支持对该段落的解释，作为对Strafford伯爵的审判和处决的评论，以及它们如何允许Denham批评Charles I参与Strafford的战争。死亡。尽管受到了批评，但包括丹纳姆（Denham）修订的诗歌版本（1653/5）在内的其他文本，后来又改编了“雄鹿追捕”剧集，以纪念查尔斯自己的审判和处决。1653/5库珀斯山（Coopers Hill）的虚假陈述印刷了1640年的原始，真实的诗歌版本，这是利用了维吉尔的追溯性预言技术，使它对查尔斯死刑的评论更加明确。丹纳姆（Denham）在《毁灭特洛伊（1656）》中重复了这种技术，他对1630年代的《埃涅德二世》（Aeneid II-VI）手稿进行了很大的修改，并断言了此早期版本的撰写日期，以便“预言”查尔斯的死刑。分析这些维吉尔后期事件的预言，可以看出这两种文本如何同时谴责和哀悼查理一世，并且也发现了德纳姆自身保皇主义的越来越多的自我歧视性元素。
