Charm Strikes The Sight, But Merit Wins

Be Silent Always When You Doubt Your Sense.

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

The Grave Unites; Where E'en The Great Find Rest, And Blended Lie Th' Oppressor And Th' Oppressed!

Of Manners Gentle, Of Affections Mild; In Wit A Man; Simplicity, A Child.

Of All The Causes Which Conspire To Blind Man's Erring Judgement, And Misguide The Mind, What The Weak Head With Strongest Bias Rules, Is Pride, The Never-failing Vice Of Fools.
