Pope and his talent for inspiring enmity.

.

The poet, Alexander Pope’s talent for inspiring enmity is central to his reputation.
His enemies abound and he replied to these enemies in his inimitable way:


Yet then did Gildon draw his venal quill;
I wish’d the man a dinner, and sate still:
Yet then did Dennis rave in furious fret;
I never answer’d, I was not in debt;
If want provok’d, or madness made them print,
I wag’d no war with Bedlam or the Mint.
