An Essay on Man is written by Alexander Pope.

Explanation:

Its a philosophic essay written in the form of couplets which followed Iambic Pentameter and it was considered to be a part of a large compilation which Pope never completed. Pope represented the enlightenment era. Pope insisted that humans must have the heart to accept their place in the god's system. Pope' work is fragmentary philosophical. He highlighted the significance of human birth and the presence of supreme power.

According to pope humans are bestowed with a limited intellectual powers to comprehend the God' plan. he also said that the ignorance to realize God' presence does not negate the omnipresent aspect of divinity. He also declares that there is a scheme of life in god' s system and humans must accept it.
