As far a formalist from wisdom sits,

In judging eyes, as libertines from wits.

These subtle wights (so blind are mortal men,

Though satire couch them with her keenest pen)

For ever will hang out a solemn face,

To put off nonsense with a better grace:

As pedlers with some hero's head make bold,

Illustrious mark! where pins are to be sold.

What's the bent brow, or neck in thought reclin'd?

The body's wisdom to conceal the mind.
