Amusement Is The Happiness Of Those Who

True Wit Is Nature To Advantage Dress'd What Oft Was Thought, But Ne'er So Well Express'd; Something Whose Truth Convinced At Sight We Find, That Gives Us Back The Image Of Our Mind. As Shades More Sweetly Recommend The Light, So Modest Plainness Sets Off Sprightly Wit.

Good-nature And Good-sense Must Ever Join; To Err Is Human, To Forgive, Divine.

For Wit And Judgment Often Are At Strife, Though Meant Each Other's Aid, Like Man And Wife.

Never Elated When Someone's Oppressed, Never Dejected When Another One's Blessed.

As With Narrow-necked Bottles; The Less They Have In Them, The More Noise They Make In Pouring Out.
