Never Elated While One Man's

Like Cato, Give His Little Senate Laws, And Sit Attentive To His Own Applause.

Chaste To Her Husband, Frank To All Beside, A Teeming Mistress, But A Barren Bride.

See Skulking Truth To Her Old Cavern Fled, Mountains Of Casuistry Heap'd O'er Her Head! Philosophy, That Lean'd On Heav'n Before, Shrinks To Her Second Cause, And Is No More. Physic Of Metaphysic Begs Defence, And Metaphysic Calls For Aid On Sense! See Mystery To Mathematics Fly!

In Vain Sedate Reflections We Would Make When Half Our Knowledge We Must Snatch, Not Take.

A Disputant No More Cares For The Truth Than The Sportsman For The Hare.
