No. Alexander Pope who wrote the poem spelled it Dulness. Dulness is the goddess who presides over Alexander Pope's The Dunciad. She is the central character, introduced at the start of the work.

I am a huge Pope fan. Essay on Man one of my favorites. And I recently learned Henry St. John, Lord Bolingbroke, a famous deist and friend of the Roman Catholic Alexander Pope, actually had tremendous input into his writing.

He's got a great line there about Erasmus that calls into question the latter's orthodoxy.
