Following his death (in 1836), Colman was falsely said to have been the author of a pornographic poem entitled The Rodiad, which extolled the pleasures and virtues to be had by caning schoolboys, and on flagellation in general. It was published by John Camden Hotten in 1871, falsely dated to 1810 and ascribed to Colman. However, the true author seems to have been Richard Monckton Milnes, 1st Baron Houghton.
