But only on a formal visit dwells

Where wasps instead of bees have formed the comb.

Shun pride, O Rae!—whatever sort beside

You take in lieu, shun spiritual pride!

A pride there is of rank—a pride of birth,

A pride of learning, and a pride of purse,

A London pride—in short, there be on earth

A host of prides, some better and some worse;

But of all prides, since Lucifer's attaint,

The proudest swells a self-elected Saint.
