The Muses' fairest light in no dark time;
The wonder of a learned age; the line

Which none can pass; the most proportion'd wit,
To nature, the best judge of what was fit;

The deepest, plainest, highest, clearest pen ;
The voice most echo'd by consenting men;

THE SOUL WHICH ANSWER'D BEST TO ALL WELL SAID
BY OTHERS, AND WHICH MOST REQUITAL MADE.
