Farewell Hope, and with Hope farewell Fear
God is thy law, thou mine.
Heaven is for thee too high To know what passes there; be lowly wise. Think only what concerns thee and thy being; Dream not of other worlds, what creatures there Live, in what state, condition, or degree, Contented that thus far hath been revealed.
Vain wisdom all, and false philosophy.
Freely they stood who stood, and fell who fell.
Let us descend now therefore from this top Of speculation.
