Epigrams and Epitaphs

By Alexander Pope

Edited by W. C. Armstrong

Read by Denis Daly

Pope's mastery of the heroic couplet and his perceptive wit are apparent in the many epigrams and epitaphs that he composed. The subjects of these snippets of verse are widely varied, ranging from encomiums to great celebrities like Sir Isaac Newton to witty soupçons, like that attached to the collar of a dog that the poet gave to Prince George (later King George II).

This recording also includes an extensive commentary on Pope's Epitaphs by Samuel Johnson.
