New Methods are not easy understood;
And few will step in an untrodden Road.
'Tis better to pursue the Rule that's known,
Than trust to an Invention of your own.
But then, be sure your Choice direct you right;
Vary, but keep the Original in sight:
The Orders just proportion; strict observe,
The Variation; various Uses serve.
Perhaps the Waste, which every Pile endures,
May make the Copy, justly pass for yours.
