Fear not the anger of the wise to raise; Those best can bear reproof who merit praise.

Mankind is unamendable.

And die of nothing but a rage to live.

Pleased to the last, he crops the flowery food, And licks the hand just raised to shed his blood.

With too much quickness ever to be taught; With too much thinking to have common thought.

Genius creates, and taste preserves. Taste is the good sense of genius; without taste, genius is only sublime folly.

Of Manners gentle, of Affections mild; In Wit a man; Simplicity, a child.
