EPITAPH ON HIMSELF, by ALEXANDER POPE Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Under this marble, or under this sill Last Line: Trusts in god, that as well as he was, he shall be. Subject(s): Pope, Alexander (1688-1744) | |||
Under this Marble, or under this Sill, Or under this Turf, or e'en what they will; Whatever an Heir, or a Friend in his stead, Or any good Creature shall lay o'er my Head; Lies He who ne'er car'd, and still cares not a Pin, What they said, or may say of the Mortal within. But who living and dying, serene still and free, Trusts in God, that as well as he was, he shall be. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...CULTURAL EVOLUTION; AFTER POPE by CAROLYN KIZER IMITATION OF POPE: A COMPLIMENT TO THE LADIES by WILLIAM BLAKE IN ANSWER TO MR.
