| | Pope Alexander VI - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Alexander VI now feared that the king might depose him for simony and summon a council, but he won over the bishop of Saint Malo, who had much influence over the King, with a cardinal's hat. | | | Like many other prelates of the day, his morals were notorious, his two dominant passions being greed of gold and love of women, and he was devoted to the ten known children his mistresses bore him. | | | But it was not long before his unbridled passion for endowing his relatives at the expense of the Church and of his neighbours became manifest. |

| | The barons of the Pope deserted him one after the other. | | | It had taught him that if he would be safe in Rome and be really master in the States of the Church, he must curb the insolent and disloyal barons who had betrayed him in his hour of danger. | | | The Colonna, the Savelli, the Gaetani and other barons of the Patrimony had always been supported in their opposition to the popes by the favour of the Aragonese dynasty, deprived of which they felt themselves powerless. |

| | Pope does not argue that evil does not exist; rather he argues that its existence does not preclude the justice of God. | | | Pope tells the reader that although "what future bliss, he gives not thee to know," God at least "gives that hope to be thy blessing now" (I. ll. | | | Pope writes that men are, in effect, considering themselves to be wiser than God. |

| | Johnson, "The Life of Pope" |
| | [104] Pope doubtless approached Addison, when the reputation of their wit first brought them together, with the respect due to a man whose abilities were acknowledged, and who, having attained that eminence to which he was himself aspiring, had in his hands the distribution of literary fame. | | | Hooke, who related them again to Pope, and was told by him that he must have mistaken the meaning of what he heard; and Bolingbroke, when Pope's uneasiness incited him to desire an explanation, declared that Hooke had misunderstood him. | | | But Pope appeased him, by changing "pious passion" to "cordial friendship," and by a note, in which he vehemently disclaims the malignity of meaning imputed to the first expression. |

| | Alexander Pope biography |
| | In 1742 Pope added a fourth book, dethroned Theobald and put Colley Cibber (q.v.) in his place. | | | He learned to read from an old aunt and received some education in two Catholic schools as well as from private tutors (Roman Catholic priests), but for the most part he taught himself. | | | In 1714 appeared The Wife of Bath, imitated from Chaucer, from whom he also got The Temple of Fame. |

| | His parents were both Catholics, and the son lived and died in the profession of the faith to which he was born. | | | Not only did he lash Bufo and Sporus, Sappho and Atosa, and scores of others by their own names or under thin disguise, but he boasted that he made a hundred smart in Timon and in Balaam. | | | It will perhaps be sufficient to say that there were probably faults on both sides. |

The consequence he had foreseen. | | | Others, again, were neutralised by the fact, that their authors had provoked reprisals by their previous insults or ingratitude to Pope. | | | He said his name was Smith, that he was a cousin of P.T.'s, and shewed the book in sheets, along with about a dozen of the original letters. |

| | Alexander Pope - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | That Pope was constrained by the demands of "acceptable" diction and prosody is undeniable, but Pope's example shows that great poetry could be written with these constraints. | | | Pope directly addressed the major religious, political and intellectual problems of his time. | | | Born in London to a Roman Catholic family in 1688, Pope was educated mostly at home, in part due to laws in force at the time upholding the status of the established Church of England. |

| | Pope's religion and his health were two of the dominant, shaping aspects of his life, becoming both a source of vulnerability and strength to him. | | | Young Alexander's education during these years was mostly in the hands of priests who particularly instructed him in Latin and Greek. | | | At some stage during his childhood Pope developed a tubercular infection of the bone that became known later as Pott's disease (after Dr Percival Pott, 1714-88, whose observation and treatment of it were famous in the eighteenth century). |

| | The poet and his family also fell victim to the repressive measures taken against Catholics after the abdication of King James II and the ascension of the Protestant William and Mary, including prohibitions against openly practicing their faith and against living within ten miles of London. | | | Pope’s early schooling was erratic and his faith precluded his attending university, but he became a model autodidact after the move to Binfield. | | | Much of Pope’s satirical verse was motivated by either his disdain for the legion of inferior writers who attacked him in print, and for many others whose only crime was their inferiority in Pope’s estimation, or his political agenda. |
