Evidence: | [Anna Seward protested against criticism of Pope]'To... poet John Morfitt, she retorts: "It is not true of Pope that he polished everything high. His 'Satires', his 'Ethic Epistles', the glorious 'Dunciad', and even several parts of the 'Essay on Man', frequently present passages in a plain, unornamented style".' |
