EPIGRAM ON THE TOASTS OF THE KIT-CAT CLUB, ANNO 1716, by ALEXANDER POPE Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Whence deathless kit-cat took its name Last Line: Of old cats and young kits. Subject(s): Kit-kat, Club; Names | ||||||||
Whence deathless Kit-Cat took its Name, Few Criticks can unriddle; Some say from Pastry Cook it came, And some from Cat and Fiddle. From no trim Beau's its Name it boasts, Gray Statesman, or green Wits; But from this pell-mell Pack of Toasts, Of old Cats and young Kits. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MISSISSIPPI by E.
