A Portrait of Pope Chronicling His Ailments Companions
The excerpt sketches Alexander Pope’s frail health and peculiar habits. It notes his hair loss, wearing a velvet cap at meals, and Court attire with a te wig and sword. Pope avoided wine, quarreled with Lady Mary Wortley Montagu, and relied on Mrs Blount for company while visiting Lord Oxford. He often stayed with Lord Oxford when the family traveled. He alternated departures from his noble host, returning only after numerous missives. He teased servants and guests but rarely laughed, keeping a restrained demeanor even as feasts roared.
