EPISTLE IV
.
..
Take Nature's path, and made Opinion's leave;

All states can reach it and all heads conceive;

Obvious her goods, in no extreme they dwell;

There needs but thinking right, and meaning well;

And mourn our various portions as we please,

Equal is common sense, and common ease.
...

But still this world, so fitted for the knave,

Contents us not. A better shall we have?

A kingdom of the just then let it be:

But first consider how those just agree.

The good must merit God's peculiar care;

But who but God can tell us who they are?
...

'Whatever is, is right.' -- This world, 'tis true,...
...
In parts superior what advantage lies!

Tell, for you can, what is it to be wise?

'Tis but to know how little can be known;

To see all others' faults, and feel our own:

Condem'd in business or in arts to drudge,

Without a second, or without a judge:

Truths would you teach, or save a sinking land?

All fear, none aid you, and few understand.
...

Show'd erring Pride, WHATEVER IS, IS RIGHT;

That Reason, Passion, answer one great aim;

That true Self-love and Social are the same ...

Alexander Pope
