G6TZ, JOHANN NIKOLAUS (1721-1781) ,
German
  poet, was born at Worms on the 9th of July 1721. He studied theology at
Halle
  (17391742), where he became intimate with the poets Johann W. L. Gleim and Johann
Peter
  Uz, acted for some years as military chaplain, and afterwards filled various other ecclesiastical offices. He died at Winterburg on the 4th of November 1781. The writings of Gotz consist of a number of short lyrics and several translations, of which the best is a rendering of
Anacreon
 . His
original
  compositions are light, lively and sparkling, and are animated rather by French wit than by
German
 
depth
  of sentiment. The best known of his poems is Die Madcheninsel, an elegy which met with the warm approval of Frederick the
Great
 .
Gotz's Vermischte Gedichte were published with
biography
  by K. W. Ramler (
Mannheim
 , 1785; new ed., 1807), and a collection of his poems, dating from the years 1745-17q65, has been edited by C. Schiiddeko f in the Deutsche Literaturdenkmale des 18. and rq. Jahrhunderts (1893). See also Briefe von and an J. N. Gotz, edited by C. Schuddekopf (1893).
