Where London's column, pointing at the skies, Like a tall bully, lifts the head, and lies.

Genius creates, and taste preserves.

Fools admire, but men of sense approve.

And all who told it added something new, and all who heard it, made enlargements too.

For forms of government, let fools contest; Whate'er is best administered, is best.

Two purposes in human nature rule. Self- love to urge, and reason to restrain.

No writing is good that does not tend to better mankind in some way or other.
