Mark What Unvary'd Laws Preserve Each State,

All Nature's Diff'rence Keeps All Nature's Peace.

Statesman, Yet Friend To Truth! Of Soul Sincere, In Action Faithful, And In Honour Clear; Who Broke No Promise, Serv'd No Private End, Who Gain'd No Title, And Who Lost No Friend.

Order Is Heaven's First Law; And This Confess, Some Are And Must Be Greater Than The Rest.

Eye Nature's Walks, Shoot Folly As It Flies, And Catch The Manners Living As They Rise; Laugh Where We Must, Be Candid Where We Can, But Vindicate The Ways Of God To Man.

Th' Unwilling Gratitude Of Base Mankind!
