The son of a solicitor, he was born either in 1699 or in 1700 at Aberglasney, in Carmarthenshire. He was sent to Westminster School and was intended for a career in law, but on his father's death he began to study painting. He wandered about South Wales, sketching and occasionally painting portraits. In 1726 his first poem, Grongar Hill, appeared in a miscellany published by Richard Savage, the poet. It was an irregular ode in the so-called Pindaric style, but Dyer entirely rewrote it into a loose measure of four cadences, and printed it separately in 1727. It had an immediate and brilliant success.
