What leader was also known as a well poet?

This is a tricky one! There are a few leaders throughout history who were known for their poetry, but pinpointing the "well" poet is difficult as it's subjective.

Here are a few possibilities depending on your definition of "well":

* Emperor Hadrian: Roman emperor known for his personal journal, "Meditations," which includes some beautiful prose and poetry.

* King Alfred the Great: King of Wessex, known for his patronage of the arts and translations of Latin works into Old English, including poetry.

* Queen Elizabeth I: While she wasn't a prolific poet, she wrote several well-regarded poems, notably the "Song of the Willow" and "On Monsieur's Departure".

* Mao Zedong: Chairman of the Communist Party of China, also wrote poetry, though its quality is debated and subject to political interpretations.

* Nelson Mandela: South African anti-apartheid revolutionary and political leader, wrote poems while in prison, reflecting on his struggles and beliefs.

Could you give me more context about what kind of leader you're thinking of or what criteria you're using to define "well"? That might help narrow down the possibilities.
