The book is divided into two parts: the first part consists of a series of odes that mock various public figures and institutions of the time, including politicians, artists, and the legal system. The second part is a longer poem addressed to Benjamin Count Rumford, a scientist and inventor, in which Pindar praises Rumford's work and accomplishments while also poking fun at his eccentricities.

The poems are written in a lively and often irreverent style, with frequent use of puns, wordplay, and exaggerated metaphors.
