ROSE, WILLIAM STEWART (17751843), poet and translator, born in 1775, was second son of George Rose (1744-1818) q. v.J, and was educated at Eton, where he contributed to the ' Musie Etonenses.' Soon after leaving school he was returned to parliament in conjunction with his father for the borough of Christchurch on 30 May 1790. In April or May 1800 he accepted theChiltern Hundreds, on being nominated by his father reading clerk of the House of Lords and clerk of the private committees.
