The papers were ostensibly written by Mr. Spectator, an “observer” of the London scene.

Irony as a principle of structure
Irony as a Principle of Structure discusses the use of irony in poetry. It compares poetry to an organic plant, with pressures of context providing its structure from beginning to end. Irony leads readers to ideas indirectly by not stating things directly, as seen in examples from King Lear where characters' words take on multiple meanings. Further examples from poems like "Dover Beach" and "To His Coy Mistress" demonstrate how irony can enhance a poem's meaning through implied rather than explicit statements.

As it departs, he regrets not spending more time with the creature, which seemed noble like an exiled king.
