The bookful blockhead, ignorantly read With loads of learned lumber in his head.
Cursed be the verse, how well so e'er it flow, That tends to make one worthy man my foe.
Drink is the feast of reason and the flow of soul.
The most positive men are the most credulous, since they most believe themselves, and advise most with their falsest flatterer and worst enemy--their own self-love.
By flatterers besieged And so obliging that he ne'er obliged.
Men, some to business, some to pleasure take; But every woman is at heart a rake.
