Excerpt from The Wish Dr. Walter Pope, the author of the poem, was a native of Northamptonshire, and was no relation, so far as known, to the younger and more celebrated poet of the same family name. His mother was a daughter of the Puritan divine John Dod, and John Wilkins, afterward Bishop of Chester, was his half-brother. He was graduated from Wadham College, Oxford, in 1649, - having first entered Trinity College, Cambridge, - and was admitted to a fellowship in 1651. After holding several offices in the University of Oxford he succeeded Sir Christopher Wren as professor of Astronomy in Gresham College in 1660. In the following year he was elected Dean of Wadham College, and the degree of Doctor of Medicine was conferred upon him by the University. He traveled extensively abroad, and was master of the French, Italian, and Spanish languages, which in turn he taught to his half-brother Wilkins. On Wilkinss elevation to the see of Chester he appointed Pope registrar of the diocese, a position which he held until his death.
