Follies and faults elsewhere by them are shown, 20

But by your manners they correct their own.

The illiterate writer, empiric-like, applies

To minds diseased, unsafe, chance remedies:

The learned in schools, where knowledge first began,

Studies with care the anatomy of man; 25

Sees virtue, vice, and passions, in their cause,

And fame from science, not from fortune, draws.

So poetry, which is in Oxford made

An art, in London only is a trade.
