He was a leading poet. Reading his poetry suites my head for his ryhmes are mind blowing and his lines just a summary of the world in an all knowing enscrypted scroll.

Pope's publisher, James Roberts, died ten years after Pope but his epitaph has been suggested as a work by Pope:
Let some by heralds blazon'd shine,
And backwards trace their ancient line;
From heaps of geld let others raise
A monument of flatt'ring praise;
Let others boast their pomp and state,
Of merit void, ignobly great: ,
One truth, o'er these remains below
Inscrib'd, more honour will bestow,
Than lineage, wealth, or grandeur can;
' Here lies interr'd an honest man.'
