Teach them how manly passions ought to move,

For such as cannot think, can never love;

And, since they needs will judge the poet's art,

Point them with fescues to each shining part.

Our author hopes in you; but still in pain,

He fears your charms will be employed in vain.

You can make fools of wits, we find each hour;

But to make wits of fools, is past your power.
