God help us! Since we have need on our career
To keep our holy beacons always bright,
'Tis time that some new prophet should appear,
Or old indulge man with a second sight.
Opinions wear out in some thousand years,
Without a small refreshment from the spheres.
XCI.
But here again, why will I thus entangle
Myself with Metaphysics? None can hate
So much as I do any kind of wrangle;
