JAGO, RICHARD (1715-1781) ,
English
  poet, third son of
Richard
 
Jago
 ,
rector
  of Beaudesert, Warwickshire, was born in 1715. He went up to University College,
Oxford
 , in 1732, and took his degree in 1736. He was ordained to the curacy of Snitterfield, Warwickshire, in 1737, and became
rector
  in 1754; and, although he subsequently received other preferments, Snitterfield remained his favourite residence. He died there on the 8th of May 1781. He was twice married.
Jago
 's best-known poem, The Blackbirds, was first printed in Hawkesworth's Adventurer (No. 37,
March
  13, 1753), and was generally attributed to
Gilbert
  West, but Jago published it in his own name, with other poems, in R. Dodsley-'s Collection of Poems (vol. iv., 1755). In 1767 appeared a topographical poem, Edge Hill, or the Rural Prospect delineated and moralized; two
separate
  sermons were published in 1755; and in 1768 Labour and Genius, a Fable. Shortly before his death Jago revised his poems, and they were published in 1784 by his friend, John Scott Hylton, as Poems Moral and Descriptive.
See a notice prefixed to the edition of 1784; A. Chalmers,
English
  Poets (vol. xvii., 1810) ; F. L. Colvile, Warwickshire Worthies (1870) ; some biographical notes are to be found in the letters of Shenstone to Jago printed in vol. iii. of Shenstone's Works (1769)..
