Persons Of Genius, And Those Who Are

Tis From High Life High Characters Are Drawn; A Saint In Crape Is Twice A Saint In Lawn: A Judge Is Just, A Chanc'llor Juster Still; A Gownman Learn'd; A Bishop What You Will; Wise If A Minister; But If A King, More Wise, More Learn'd, More Just, More Ev'rything.

For He Lives Twice Who Can At Once Employ, The Present Well, And E'en The Past Enjoy.

There Still Remains To Mortify A Wit The Many-headed Monster Of The Pit.

Fortune In Men Has Some Small Diff'rence Made, One Flaunts In Rags, One Flutters In Brocade, The Cobbler Apron'd, And The Parson Gown'd, The Friar Hooded, And The Monarch Crown'd.

Ladies, Like Variegated Tulips, Show 'tis To Their Changes Half Their Charms We Owe.
