The quarrel, as we shall see, broke out fiercely over Pope's grave.
FOOTNOTES: [20] "No letter with an envelope could give him more delight," says Swift.
[21] It would be out of place to discuss this in detail; but I may say that Pope's crude theory of the state of nature, his psychology as to reason and instinct, and self-love, and his doctrine of the scale of beings, all seem to have the specific Bolingbroke stamp.
[22] Perhaps the most curious example, too long for quotation, is a passage near the end of the last epistle, in which he sums up his moral system by a series of predicates for which it is impossible to find any subject.

One couplet runs-- Never elated whilst one man's depress'd, Never dejected whilst another's blest.
It is impressive, but it is quite impossible to discover by the rules of grammatical construction who is to be never elated and depressed.
