Never Elated While One Man's Oppress'd; Never

A Disputant No More Cares For The Truth Than The Sportsman For The Hare.

Be Not The First By Whom The New Are Tried, Nor Yet The Last To Lay The Old Aside.

A Mighty Maze! But Not Without A Plan.

Whether The Darken'd Room To Muse Invite, Or Whiten'd Wall Provoke The Skew'r To Write; In Durance, Exile, Bedlam, Or The Mint, Like Lee Or Budgel I Will Rhyme And Print.

Lo! The Poor Indian! Whose Untutor'd Mind Sees God In Clouds, Or Hears Him In The Wind; His Soul Proud Science Never Taught To Stray Far As The Solar Walk Or Milky Way.
