Those Things which seem of little Consequence,

And slight and trivial; know; you some time hence,

When you are made ridiculous; will find,

They are important, and instruct the Mind:

If in a Building Fit, a Frantic Man:

Should wildly scheme, a bad, or monstrous Plan,

Not minding where, or how, or what, to lay,

For a Foundation, or his Workmen pay:

If he should find, a Prison for his Pains,

(Misfortune justly suited to his Brains)
