English poet. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander Pope Wikipedia] says, "Alexander Pope (21 May 1688 – 30 May 1744) is generally regarded as the greatest English poet of the early eighteenth century, best known for his satirical verse and for his translation of Homer. He is the third most frequently quoted writer in the English language, after Shakespeare and Tennyson.[1] Pope was a master of the heroic couplet."

Pope's contribution to hymnody is second-hand. An anonymous hymnist constructed the hymn [[Rise, Crowned with Light]] from the final portions of Pope's poem "A Sacred Eclogue in Imitation of Virgil's <u>Pollio</u>".
