In words, as fashions, the same rule will hold;
Alike fantastic, if too new, or old:
Be not the first by whom the new are tried,
Nor yet the last to lay the old aside.

Then most our trouble still when most admired,
And still the more we give, the more required;
Whose fame with pains we guard, but lose with ease,
Sure some to vex, but never all to please.
So pleas'd at first the tow'ring Alps we try,
Mount o'er the vales, and seem to tread the sky;
Th'eternal snows appear already past,
And the first clouds and mountains seem the last:
But those attain'd, we tremble to survey
The growing labours of the lengthen'd way;
Th'increasing prospect tires our wand'ring eyes,
Hills peep o'er hills, and Alps on Alps arise!
The world forgetting, by the world forgot.
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind!
Intrepid then, o'er seas and lands he flew:
Europe he saw, and Europe saw him too.
Some who grow dull religious straight commence
And gain in morals what they lose in sense.
For he lives twice who can at once employ,
The present well, and e’en the past enjoy.

Know thyself, presume not God to scan;
The proper study of mankind is man.
