Blessed with a taste exact, yet unconfined; A knowledge both of books and human kind; Generous converse, a soul exempt from pride; And love to praise, with reason on his side? BLESSED WITH A TASTE EXACT YET UNCONFINED A KNOWLEDGE BOTH OF BOOKS AND HUMANKIND GENEROUS CONVERSE A SOLE EXEMPT FROM PRIDE AND LOVE TO PRAISE WITH REASON ON HIS SIDE
es down to Durfey's Tales [617] With him most authors steal their works or buy; Garth did not write his own Dispensary [619] Name a new play, and he's the poets friend Nay, showed his faults--but when would poets mend? No place so sacred from such fops is barred, Nor is Paul's Church more safe than Paul's Churchyard: [623] Nay, fly to altars; there they'll talk you dead, For fools rush in where angels fear to tread Distrustful sense with modest caution speaks, It still looks home, and short excursions makes; But rattling nonsense in full volleys breaks, And, never shocked, and never turned aside. Bursts out, resistless, with a thundering tide, But where's the man who counsel can bestow, Still pleased to teach, and yet not proud to know? Unbiased, or by favor, or in spite, Not dully prepossessed, nor blindly right; Though learned, well-bred, and though well bred, sincere, Modestly bold, and humanly severe, Who to a friend his faults can freely show, And gladly praise the merit of a foe? LF APPEARS ALL BOOKS HE READS AND ALL HE READS SELES FROM DRYDEN'S FABLES DOWN TO DOFF HIS TALES WITH HIM WAS AUTHOR'S STILL THEIR WORKS OR BY GOD DID NOT WRITE HIS OWN DISPENSARY NAME A NEW PLAY AND HE IS THE POET'S FRIEND NAY SHOW HIS FAULTS BUT WHEN WOULD POETS MEND SO PLAY SO SACRED FROM SUCH FOBS IS BURIED NOR IS PAUL'S CHURCH MORE SAFE THAN PAUL'S CHURCHYARD NAY FLY TO ALTARS THERE THEY'LL TALK YOU DEAD FOR FOOLS WATCHING WHERE ANGELS FEAR TO TREAD DISTRUSTING SENSE WITH MODEST CAUTION SPEAK IT STILL LOOKS HOME AND SHORT EXCURSION MAKES BUT RATTLING NONSENSE IN FULL VOLLEY BREAKS AND NEVER SHOT AND NEVER TURNED ASIDE BURST OUT RESISTLESS WITH THE THUNDERING TIDE BUT WHERE IS THE MAN WHO COUNSELS CAN BESTOW STILL PLEASED TO TEACH AND YET NOT PROUD TO KNOW UNBIRST OR BY FEVER OR BY SPITE NOT DULLY PREPOSSESSED NOT BLINDLY RIGHT THE LEARNED WELL BRED THE WELL BRED SINCERE MODESTLY BOLD AND HUMANLY SEVERE WHO TO A FRIEND HIS FAULT CAN FREELY SHOW AND GLADLY PRAISED AND MARRIED OF FOE
