And with pains equal held it my concern,

When I myself was satisfied, to find

Means to pass truths into another mind.

No less a duty, if thou undertake,

Wilt thou betray, if thou should then forsake!

Away with mean cares; give, if aught, thy whole—

The sum of Reason—that which makes the Soul!

Philosophy

Bk. II. vv. 1-60
