The Villain's Censure Is Extorted Praise.

What Dire Offence From Am'rous Causes Springs, What Mighty Contests Rise From Trivial Things.

But Satan Now Is Wiser Than Of Yore, And Tempts By Making Rich, Not Making Poor.

Pride, Where Wit Fails, Steps In To Our Defence, And Fills Up All The Mighty Void Of Sense.

Genius Involves Both Envy And Calumny.

What Reason Weaves, By Passion Is Undone.
