A Brave Man Struggling In

Say First, Of God Above Or Man Below; What Can We Reason But From What We Know.

Some Place The Bliss In Action, Some In Ease, Those Call It Pleasure, And Contentment These.

The Greatest Advantage I Know Of Being Thought A Wit By The World Is, That It Gives One The Greater Freedom Of Playing The Fool.

No Craving Void Left Aching In The Soul.

For What I Have Publish'd, I Can Only Hope To Be Pardon'd; But For What I Have Burned, I Deserve To Be Prais'd.
