The dances ended, all the fairy train For pinks and daisies search'd the flow'ry plain.

As the twig is bent, so grows the tree.

A saint in crape is twice a saint in lawn.

The dances ended, all the fairy train For pinks and daisies search'd the flow'ry plain.

Men must be taught as if you taught them not, and things unknown proposed as things forgot.

See skulking Truth to her old cavern fled, Mountains of Casuistry heap'd o'er her head! Philosophy, that lean'd on Heav'n before, Shrinks to her second cause, and is no more. Physic of Metaphysic begs defence, And Metaphysic calls for aid on Sense! See Mystery to Mathematics fly!

Let such teach others who themselves excel, And censure freely who have written well.
