And Bear About The Mockery Of Woe

To Teach Vain Wits That Science Little Known, T' Admire Superior Sense, And Doubt Their Own!

Whoever Thinks A Faultless Piece To See, Thinks What Ne'er Was, Nor Is, Nor E'er Shall Be.

Eye Nature's Walks, Shoot Folly As It Flies, And Catch The Manners Living As They Rise; Laugh Where We Must, Be Candid Where We Can, But Vindicate The Ways Of God To Man.

Praise Undeserved, Is Satire In Disguise.

The Hungry Judges Soon The Sentence Sign, And Wretches Hang That Jurymen May Dine.
