Note 562 — ELEGY TO THE MEMORY OF AN UNFORTUNATE LADY.
Reading edition
When Pope describes the retribution which is to fall upon the imperious relatives of the unfortunate lady, he says,
Thus unlamented pass the proud away;
and it is to these same relations, whose pride was their vice, that he reverts in the line,
'Tis all thou art, and all the proud shall be.
The persecutors who have hunted you into the grave, shall one day share your fate.
