Praed, Winthrop Mackworth, 1802-39, English poet and essayist. A Conservative member of Parliament (1830-32, 1834-39) and an accomplished political satirist, he is best remembered for his graceful light verse—"Letter of Advice," "Molly Mog"—and his serious poems, such as "Arminius" and "Time's Song."
