But even in our own times it is doubtful whether any poet whose period of production came between the Elizabethan age and the time of Byron, Wordsworth, and Shelley has so large a number of 1712 14 * THAMES' TRANSLUCENT WAVE/ 253 readers as Pope can yet command. Those who still read him may be said to feel something like a real affection for many of his poems.
