John Dawes Worgan (8 November 1791[1] - 25 July 1809)[2] was a British poet.[3][4]
This extraordinary boy, John Dawes Worgan, became an inmate of Dr. Jenner s family at Berkeley in September 1806, having not then completed his sixteenth year. He was en- dowed with a singular maturity of judgment, an uncommon delicacy of perception, a quick and vivid imagination, a love of high and ennobling sentiments, together with that deep and heart- felt humility which checked the ardent and im- passioned feelings of his nature, and at last brought all the fond and ambitious imaginings of his aspiring mind under the sacred influence of piety and peace[5]
