DRAMATISTS > poet > Alexander Pope
Statesman, yet friend...
Vendor: DRAMATISTS
Statesman, yet friend to truth! of soul sincere
In action faithful, and in honour clear,
Who broke no promise, served no private end,
Who gained no title, and who lost no friend.

-- Alexander Pope, (May 21 1688-1744), English poet; He is remembered as a major satirist of Augustan age; wrote The Rape of the Lock, 1714 and Moral Essays, 1731-35.
