When Lucifer with Angels held first Place,

Seraphic Beauty sparkled in his Face.

By Pride and Malice tempted to rebel,

Vengeance pursu’d him to the lowest Hell:

Not sulph’rous Lakes suffic’d, nor dreary Plains;

Deformity was join’d t’ improve his Pains.

Paint then the Person, and expose the Mind,

Who rails at others, to his own Faults blind.

Sly Sancho’s Paunch, meagre Don Quixot’s Love,

The Satyr and the Ridicule improve.
