Pet For Poem by Douglas Scotney
Pet For
Rating: ★1.0
Probably not
pet for 'Belinda',
probably pet for 'Elizabeth' (the Queen) ,
is the Betty 'prais'd for labours not her own'*
in The Rape Of The Lock of 1714.
Pope thought she was over-praised;
probably thought,
because of her 'awful' make-up,
that she was just asking to be more the butt of laughter
than those who ruled after.
