with popes' efforts by the difference in eighteenth century literature and
romantic poems, their descriptive natures and ideas they portray to the reader

Pope has written an eighteenth-century poem which he calls, "An Hero-
Comical Poem." This poem has exalted an over all sense of worthlessness for
common rules. The mentioning of Achilles and the ever-popular Aeneas, are
symbols of Pope's Gothic style. Pope speaks (almost) G-D like throughout, "The
Rape of Lock." Contrary to Keats, who is more down-to-earth with his sense of
realism ...

new stanza with the mention of these words: In the fourth stanza, "big dim
doily", to the second last stanza, "why, oh why, the doily? /Embroidered"
to the last stanza, "somebody embroidered the doily".
Whereas the [oi] sound crea ...
