Be sure yourself and your own reach to know How far your genius taste and learning go. - Alexander Pope

Let us (since life can little more supply, than just to look about us, and to die)
Expatiate free o'er all this scene of man;
A mighty maze! but not without a plan;

If I am right, Thy grace import Still in the right to stay; If I am wrong, oh teach my heart To find that better way!

"Let Sporus tremble — "What? that thing of silk,
Sporus, that mere white curd of ass's milk?
Satire or sense, alas! can Sporus feel?
Who breaks a Butterfly upon a Wheel?"
Yet let me flap this Bug with gilded wings,
This painted Child of Dirt that stinks and stings;
Whose Buzz the Witty and the Fair annoys,
Yet Wit ne'er tastes, and Beauty ne'er enjoys,"
