Mary Monck

Mary Monck (ca.1678-1715) was an Irish poet.

Life
Monck, Mary, a woman of great beauty and considerable poetical abilities, daughter of Lord Molesworth, was born in the latter half of the 17th century. She acquired an intimate knowledge of Latin, Italian, and Spanish literature. Chiefly residing in the country, one of a numerous family, she cultivated poetry more as an amusement than with a view to publication. She married George Monck of Dublin. She died early from consumption, at Bath, in 1715.

Recognition
After her death, a volume of her poems and translations was published. Several of her pieces were printed in Colley Cibber's Lives of the Poets.
