Thomas Fletcher (poet)

Thomas Fletcher (1666–1713) was a minor English poet and priest of the Church of England.

He was the parish priest for Fairfield Somerset in 1694 and moved on to be the prebendary in Wells Cathedral from 1696 until his death.

He became a fellow of Winchester College in 1711 and was buried in Westminster Cathedral upon his death at age 47.

His sole contribution to English letters was an eight-volume Poems on several occasions and translations, wherein the first and second books of Virgil's 'AEneis' are attempted in 1692.

The volumes also contained a partial translation of Boethius's Consolation of Philosophy and the second epode of Horace.
