The satirical poem “The Rape of the Lock,” is Alexander Pope’s response to a feud
that erupts between two families after a young man from one family snips a lock of
hair from the daughter of the other family. Pope attempted to unite the families by
showing the humor in the incident.

The Rape of the Lock
by Alexander Pope (excerpt)

Not youthful kings in battle seized alive,
Not scornful virgins who their charms survive,
Not ardent lovers robbed of all their bliss,
Not ancient ladies when refused a kiss,
Nor tyrants fierce that unrepenting die,
Not Cynthia when her manteau’s pinned awry,
E’er felt such rage, resentment, and despair,
As thou, sad virgin! for thy ravished hair.



A. exaggeration
