Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PIG-POL
POLLOK, ROBERT (1798-1827) , Scottish poet, son of a small farmer, was born at North Moorhouse, Renfrewshire, on the , 9th of October 1798. He was trained as a cabinet-maker and after-wards worked on his father's farm, but, having prepared himself for the university, he took his degree at Glasgow, and studied for the
ministry
  of the United Secession
Church
 . He published Tales of the
Covenanters
  while he was a divinity student, and planned and completed a strongly Calvinistic poem on the spiritual
life
  and destiny of man. This was the Course of Time (1827), which passed through many editions and became a favourite in serious households in
Scotland
 . It was written in blank verse, in ten books, in the poetic diction of the 18th
century
 , but with abundance of enthusiasm, impassioned
elevation
  of feeling and copious force of words and images. The poem at once became popular, but within six months of its publication, on the 18th of September 1827, its author died of
consumption
