Heav'n First Taught Letters For Some Wretch's

The Best Way To Prove The Clearness Of Our Mind, Is By Showing Its Faults; As When A Stream Discovers The Dirt At The Bottom, It Convinces Us Of The Transparency And Purity Of The Water.

The Lights And Shades, Whose Well-accorded Strife Gives All The Strength And Color Of Our Life.

Say, Will The Falcon, Stooping From Above, Smit With Her Varying Plumage, Spare The Dove? Admires The Jay The Insect's Gilded Wings? Or Hears The Hawk When Philomela Sings?

Calm, Thinking Villains, Whom No Faith Could Fix, Of Crooked Counsels And Dark Politics.

Honor And Shame From No Condition Rise. Act Well Your Part: There All The Honor Lies.
