Witty, anecdotal account of
Pope's recent life, health,
circumstances and aspirations.
"I like better to live upon
enjoyable annuities for life than
ye most glowing perpetuities...
and I do not exaggerate the matter
at all when I say I prefer some ten
or twelve months of my whole life
spent at Cirencester...to a
long and glorious reign upon
Parnassus after my death."
Mentions Jonathan Swift
(1667-1745).
