Tis All In Vain To Keep A

Amusement Is The Happiness Of Those Who Cannot Think.

There Is Nothing That Is Meritorious But Virtue And Friendship.

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.

Did Some More Sober Critics Come Abroad? If Wrong, I Smil'd; If Right, I Kiss'd The Rod.

Satire's My Weapon, But I'm Too Discreet To Run Amuck, And Tilt At All I Meet.
