Wholesome Solitude, The Nurse Of Sense!

Is It, In Heav'n, A Crime To Love Too Well?

Be Silent Always When You Doubt Your Sense.

A Perfect Judge Will Read Each Word Of Wit With The Same Spirit That Its Author Writ.

Vice Is A Monster Of So Frightful Mien As To Be Hated Needs But To Be Seen; Yet Seen Too Oft, Familiar With Her Face, We First Endure, Then Pity, Then Embrace.

But See How Oft Ambition's Aims Are Cross'd, And Chiefs Contend 'til All The Prize Is Lost!
