As man to man: nor only where the smiles
Of love invite; nor only where the applause
Of cordial honor turns the attentive eye
On virtue’s graceful deeds; for since the course
Of things external acts in different ways
On human apprehension, as the hand
Of nature tempered to a different frame
Peculiar minds, so haply where the powers
Of fancy neither lessen nor enlarge
The images of things, but paint, in all
