Read the lines from Canto V of The R*pe of the Lock and answer the question. Some thought it mounted to the Lunar sphere,
Since all things lost on earth are treasur'd there.
There Hero's wits are kept in pond'rous vases,
And beau's in snuff-boxes and tweezer-cases.
There broken vows and death-bed alms are found,
And lovers' hearts with ends of riband bound,
The courtier's promises, and sick man's pray'rs,
The smiles of harlots, and the tears of heirs,
Cages for gnats, and chains to yoke a flea,
Dry'd butterflies, and tomes of casuistry.

These lines offer a possible explanation for where the lost lock has gone, but they also offer Pope another chance to satirize behaviors. What are his satirical targets in this passage? What do the targeted behaviors, and the people who behave in these ways, have in common? In a written response of at least 200 words, answer these questions using details from the text. Include in your response an explanation of whether Pope's satire in this section is Horatian or Juvenalian.
