This analysis is not exactly a critique, but in some ways it may well be. One would be daring to criticize a master such as Pope. However, this is about analyzing the metrical variations that Pope has employed in his work. In some instances, the verses do not seem to follow without our stumbling across certain words. When the construction of the verse is explained, we can see how the verse is to be read. For the most, Pope is very consistent yet there are still variations which require the reader to be alert. Often we immediately look for the iambic rhythm, but this is not always the case and the verse will not read well if we enforce this rhythm.
