The affair of Francisco's wife with Cadiz governor Don Carlos is the subject of this writer's The False Count, which also produced a song about a woman's love for both Alexis and Damon, "On Her Loving Two Equally." Though not the Earl of Rochester, this poet adapted a Jean Benech de Cantanac poem about premature ejaculation into the mock-epic "The Disappointment," and also addressed a possible hermaphrodite for whom the term "maid" was "Too weak, too feminine for nobler thee" in the poem "To the Fair Clarinda." More famous are a verse play in which the courtesan (*) Angelica Bianca nearly kills the man who stole her picture and seduced her despite planning to marry Florinda's sister Hellena, and a novel in which Imoinda and her lover are captured, leading the latter to eventually stage a revolt against deputy-governor Byam in Surinam. For 10 points, name this woman who wrote about Captain Willmore, The Rover, as well as a royal slave, Oroonoko.
