Alexander Pope on Dogs
← Back to Alexander Pope Profile
“I am his Highness' dog at Kew; Pray tell me, sir, whose dog are you?”
“Histories are more full of examples of the fidelity of dogs than of friends.”
“To be, contents his natural desire, He asks no angel's wing, no seraph's fire; But thinks, admitted to that equal sky, His faithful dog shall bear him company. Go wiser thou! and in thy scale of sense Weigh thy opinion against Providence.”
