ALEXANDER POPE (1688-1744), was one of the greatest satirists of the early 18th century. He was also a critic. But he is remembered chiefly as a satirist. This vein of his poetry is best expressed in ‘The Rape of the Lock’ ,’The Dunciad’ and ‘The Episttes’. Two of his other famous works are ‘Essay On Criticism and ‘Essay On Man.’
Ode is a poem addressed to a person or an object. The Greek word ‘ode’ meant a choric song generally accompanied by dance. The term is presently used to refer to long, meditative lyric poems that in dignified manner address a noble subject. In the present poem ‘Ode On Solitude’ the poet draws a beautiful picture of a happy man.
Happy the man whose wish and care
A few paternal acres bound,
Content to breathe his native air
In his own ground.
Whose herds with milk, whose fields with bread,
Whose flocks supply him with attire;
Whose trees in summer yield him shade,
In winter fire.
Blest, who can unconcernedly find
Hours, days, and years, slide soft away
In health of body, peace of mind,
Quiet by day.
Sound sleep by night; study and ease
Together mixt, sweet recreation,
And innocence, which most does please
With meditation.
Thus let me live unseen, unknown;
Thus unlamented let me die;
Steal from the world, and not a stone
Tell where I lie.”
