Edward Young (June 1681 - 5 April 1765) was an English poet, best remembered for Night Thoughts.
He was the son of Edward Young, later Dean of Salisbury, and was born at his father's rectory at Upham, near Winchester, where he was baptized on 3 July 1683. He was educated at Winchester College, and matriculated in 1702 at New College, Oxford. He later moved to Corpus Christi, and in 1708 was nominated by Archbishop Tenison to a law fellowship at All Souls. He took his degree of D.C.L. in 1719.
His first publication was an Epistle to ... Lord Lansdoune (1713). It was followed by a Poem on the Last Day (1713), dedicated to Queen Anne; The Force of Religion: or Vanquished Love (1714), a poem on the execution of Lady Jane Grey and her husband, dedicated to the Countess of Salisbury; and an epistle to Joseph Addison, On the late Queen's Death and His Majesty's Accession to the Throne (1714), in which he rushed to praise the new king.

Young
Lord Edward Young specialises in guiding high-profile leaders, organisations and families through times of challenge, transition and renewal.
Lord Young spent the last twenty years in the Royal Household, notably as principal private secretary to Queen Elizabeth II, serving as Her Majesty’s chief adviser in her role as Head of State.
Over the years, he advised on many sensitive and momentous issues, ranging from formation of governments and big set-piece events such as The Queen’s historic state visit to Ireland in 2011, through to private family matters. As head of the Private Secretary’s Department at Buckingham Palace, he led a team of 80, comprising experts in communications, planning, policy, research, security and governance. He has been in the room, literally, for the last six changes of UK Prime Minister and has met many of the most senior figures on the world stage. On a lighter note, it was Lord Young who persuaded Her Majesty to take part in the famous James Bond helicopter sketch for the London 2012 Olympics.
