As men of breeding, sometimes men of wit, To avoid great errors, must the less commit: Neglect the rules each verbal critic lays, For not to know some trifles is a praise. AS MEN OF BREEDING SOMETIMES MEN OF WIT TO AVOID GREAT ERROR MUST THE LESS COMMIT NEGLECT THE RULES EACH VERBAL CRITIC SAYS FOR NOT TO KNOW SUCH TRIFLES IS THE PRAISE
nd Where nature moves and rapture warms the mind, Nor lose for that malignant dull delight The generous pleasure to be charmed with wit But in such lays as neither ebb nor flow, Correctly cold and regularly low That, shunning faults, one quiet tenor keep; We cannot blame indeed--but we may sleep. In wit, as nature, what affects our hearts Is not the exactness of peculiar parts, 'Tis not a lip, or eye, we beauty call, But the joint force and full result of all. Thus, when we view some well proportioned dome (The worlds just wonder, and even thine, O Rome!), [248] No single parts unequally surprise, All comes united to the admiring eyes; No monstrous height or breadth, or length, appear; The whole at once is bold, and regular. Whoever thinks a faultless piece to see. Thinks what ne'er was, nor is, nor e'er shall be. In every work regard the writer's end, Since none can compass more than they intend; And if the means be just, the conduct true, Applause, in spite of trivial faults, is due. Y THE WHOLE NOR SIX FALL TO FIND WHERE NATURE MOVES AND RAPTURE WARMS THE MIND NOR LOSE FOR THAT MADDENING AND DOLL DELIGHT THE DANGEROUS PLEASURE TO BE CHARMED WITH WITH BUT IN SUCH LAYS AS NEITHER EARTH NOR FLOW CORRECTLY COLD AND REGULARLY LOW THAT SHUNNING FAULT ONE QUIET NOR A KIP WE CANNOT BLAME INDEED BUT WE MAY SLEEP AND WITH THIS NATURE WHAT AFFECTS OUR HEARTS IS NOTHING THE EXACTNESS OF PECULIAR PARTS TIS NOT A LIP OR I WE BEAUTY CALL BUT THE JOINT FORCE AND FULL RESULT OF ALL THUS WHEN WE VIEW SOME WELL PROPORTIONED DOME THE WORLD'S JUST WONDER AN EVEN DYING OLD ROME NO SINGLE PART UNEQUALLY SURPRISED ALL COMES UNITED TO THE ADMIRING EYE NO MONSTROUS HEIGHT OR PRETEND OR LENGTH APPEAR THE WHOLE THAT WANTS IS BOLD AND REGULAR WHOEVER THINKS A FAULTLESS PEACE TO SEE THINKS WHAT NE'ER WAS NOR IS NOR E'ER SHALL BE IN EVERY WORD REGARD THE WRITER'S END SINCE NONE CAN COMPASS MORE THAN THEY INTEND I NEED THE MEANS BE JUST THE CONDUCT TRUE APPLAUSE IN SPITE OF TRIVIAL FAULTS IS DUE
