POMFRET, JOHN (1667-1702) , English poet, son of

Thomas

Pomfret,

vicar

VICAR (Lat. vicarius, substitute)

of Luton, was born in 1667. He was educated at

Bedford

BEDFORD

grammar school and at Queens' College,

Cambridge

. He became

rector

RECTOR (Lat. for " ruler," " guide," &c., from regere, "
rule
- RULE
")

of Maulden, Bedfordshire, in 1695, and of Millbrook in the same.. county in 1702. Dr Johnson says that the

bishop

of London refused to sanction preferment for him because in his Choice he declared that he would have no wife, although he expressed a wish for the occasional company of a modest and sprightly

young

lady. The poet was married in real life all the same, andwhile waiting to clear up the misunderstanding with the bishophe died in November 1702. The Choice or Wish: A Poem written by a Person of Quality (1700) expresses the epicurean desires of a cultivated man of Pomfret's time. It is smoothly written in the heroic couplet, and was widely popular. His Miscellany Poems were published in 1702.
