The poem, ‘Hymn to Adversity‘, written in 1742, like the ‘Ode on Spring‘ and the ‘Ode on a Distant Prospect of Eton College’, belongs to the first period of Gray’s poetic career. The word “hymn” means a song in praise of God; but here this word has been used to mean a song in praise of Adversity which has been personified, and to which the poet has attributed certain divine qualities. Adversity is here regarded as a daughter of Jove (or Jupiter) who was, in ancient classical mythology, the supreme god. This poem, written in praise of Adversity looks forward to a similar poem written by Wordsworth. The poem by Wordsworth is entitled “Ode to Duty”.Related questions
