Pursue fair fame, but in a glorious way,

Nor in the idle scenes of Fancy's painting stray.

Of all the good that mortal men pursue,

The Muse has least to give, and gives to few;

Like some coquettish fair, she leads us on,

With smiles and hopes, till youth and peace are gone;

Then, wed for life, the restless wrangling pair

Forget how constant one, and one how fair:
