This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from Alexander Pope's work An Essay on Criticism (1st edition, 1711). It may be used to create a link to an online version of the work at Google Books (archived at the Internet Archive).
The template takes the following parameters:
|1=
or |page=
, or |pages=
– mandatory in some cases: the page number(s) quoted from. When quoting a range of pages, note the following:
|pages=10–11
.|pageref=
to indicate the page to be linked to (usually the page on which the Wiktionary entry appears).|line=
or |lines=
– the line number(s) of the passage quoted. If quoting from a range of numbers, separate the numbers with an en dash, like this: |lines=10–11
.|2=
, |text=
, or |passage=
– the passage to be quoted.|footer=
– a comment on the passage quoted.|brackets=
– use |brackets=on
to surround a quotation with brackets. This indicates that the quotation either contains a mere mention of a term (for example, “some people find the word manoeuvre hard to spell”) rather than an actual use of it (for example, “we need to manoeuvre carefully to avoid causing upset”), or does not provide an actual instance of a term but provides information about related terms.{{RQ:Pope Essay on Criticism|page=12|passage=Some figures ''monſtrous'' and ''miſ-ſhap'd'' appear, / Conſider'd ''ſingly'', or beheld too ''near'', / VVhich, but ''proportion'd'' to their ''Light'', or ''Place'', / Due '''Diſtance''' ''reconciles'' to Form and Grace.}}
