Hear how learned Greece her useful rules indites, When to repress and when indulge our flights. High on Parnassus' top her sons she showed, [94] And pointed out those arduous paths they trod; Held from afar, aloft, the immortal prize, And urged the rest by equal steps to rise. HERE HER LEARNED GREECE HOW USEFUL ROSE INDITES WHEN TO REPRESS AND WHEN INDULGE OUR FLIGHT HIGH ON PENNASSUS TOUGH HER SON SHE SHOWED AND POINTED OUT THOSE ARDUST PARTS THEY THREWED HELD FROM AFAR A LOFTY MORT OF PRIZE AND URGED THE REST BY EQUAL STEPS TO RISE
s still the same. Unerring nature still divinely bright, One clear, unchanged and universal light, Life force and beauty, must to all impart, At once the source and end and test of art Art from that fund each just supply provides, Works without show and without pomp presides In some fair body thus the informing soul With spirits feeds, with vigor fills the whole, Each motion guides and every nerve sustains, Itself unseen, but in the effects remains. Some, to whom Heaven in wit has been profuse, [80] Want as much more, to turn it to its use; For wit and judgment often are at strife, Though meant each other's aid, like man and wife. 'Tis more to guide, than spur the muse's steed, Restrain his fury, than provoke his speed, The winged courser, like a generous horse, [86] Shows most true mettle when you check his course. Those rules, of old discovered, not devised, Are nature still, but nature methodized; Nature, like liberty, is but restrained By the same laws which first herself ordained.  NATURE AND JUDGMENT FRAME BY HER JUST STANDARDS WHICH IS STILL THE SAME UNERRING NATURE STILL DIVINELY BRIGHT WHEN CLEAR UNCHANGED AND UNIVERSAL LIGHT LIFE FORCE AND BEAUTY MUST ALL IMPART AT ONCE THE SOURCE AND END AND TASTE OF ART ART FROM THAT FUND EACH JUST SUPPLIED PROVIDES WORK WITHOUT SHOW AND WITHOUT PUMP RESIDES IN SOME FAIR BODY DOES THE INFORMING SOUL WITH SPIRITS FADE WITH VIGOUR FILLS THE WHOLE EACH MOTION GUIDES AND EVERY NERVE SUSTAINS ITSELF UNSEEN BUT IN THE EFFECT REMAINS SOME TO WHOM HEAVEN AND WIT HAS BEEN PROFUSED WANT IS MUCH MORE TO TURN IT TO ITS USE FOR WITH AND JUDGMENT OF AN OUTSTRIDE TO MEND EACH OTHER'S AID LIKE MAN AND WIFE TIS MORE TO GUIDE THAN SPARE THE MUSIC STEED RESTRAIN HIS FURY THAN PROVOKE HIS SPEED THE WINGED CURSOR LIKE A GENEROUS HORSE SHOWS MOST TRUE METTLE WHEN YOU SHAKE HIS COURSE THOSE RULES OF OLD DISCOVER NOT DEVISED ARE NATURE STILL BUT NATURE METHODISED NATURE LIKE LIBERTY IS BUT RESTRAINED BY THE SAME LAWS WHICH FIRST HERSELF ORDAINED
