“Dare you our liberties assail,
Must not majorities prevail?”
I answer: “as a general rule,[3]
The “major” is the greater fool;”
The horse that bears me on with ease,
May be of any hue you please;
Nor to the binding do we look,
To find the worth of any book;
Nor judge we wisdom by its size,
Its weight, not bulk, we justly prize.
