EPITAPH ON MR. ELIJAH FENTON, AT EASTHAMSTED IN BERKS, by ALEXANDER POPE Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: This modest stone what few vain marbles can Last Line: Thank'd heav'n that he had liv'd, and that he dy'd. | ||||||||
This modest Stone what few vain Marbles can May truly say, here lies an honest Man. A Poet, blest beyond the Poet's fate, Whom Heav'n kept sacred from the Proud and Great. Foe to loud Praise, and Friend to learned Ease, Content with Science in the Vale of Peace. Calmly he look'd on either Life, and here Saw nothing to regret, or there to fear; From Nature's temp'rate feast rose satisfy'd, Thank'd Heav'n that he had liv'd, and that he dy'd. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A HYMN WRITTEN IN WINDSOR FOREST by ALEXANDER POPE AN ESSAY ON CRITICISM by ALEXANDER POPE AN ESSAY ON MAN by ALEXANDER POPE COWLEY: THE GARDEN by ALEXANDER POPE ELEGY TO THE MEMORY OF AN UNFORTUNATE LADY by ALEXANDER POPE ELOISA TO ABELARD by ALEXANDER POPE EPIGRAM ENGRAVED ON THE COLLAR OF A DOG by ALEXANDER POPE EPIGRAM ON QUEEN CAROLINE'S DEATHBED by ALEXANDER POPE EPILOGUE TO THE SATIRES: DIALOGUE 1 by ALEXANDER POPE EPISTLE TO DR.
