In heads replete with thoughts of other men;

Wisdom in minds attentive to their own.

Books are not seldom talismans and spells,

By which the magic art of shrewder wits

Holds an unthinking multitude enthrall’d.

Some to the fascination of a name

Surrender judgment hood-wink’d. Some the style

Infatuates, and through labyrinths and wilds

Of error leads them, by a tune entranc’d,

While sloth seduces more, too weak to bear
