John Moultrie

John Moultrie (December 30, 1799 - December 26, 1874) was an English poet.

He was born in London and educated at Eton College, and many of his best verses were contributed to the "Etonian". He entered Trinity College, Cambridge, in 1819, and in 1822 entered the Middle Temple. Three years later he was ordained, and was presented to the living of Rugby by Lord Craven. At Rugby he became friends with Thomas Arnold, to whom two of his sonnets are addressed.

He published several volumes of verse during his lifetime, and a complete edition of his poems was published in two volumes in 1876 with a memoir by Derwent Coleridge. They include some pieces popular at the time, "Godiva," "Three Minstrels," an account of meetings with Wordsworth, Coleridge and Tennyson, "My Brother’s Grave," and some hymns.
