they'll _confound_ 'em all:
That _Parallels_ may _travel_ till they _meet_;
_Faith_ they can find in L----, no _Sense_ in STILLINGFLEET.
Disturb 'em not, but let 'em still enjoy
Th' _unenvy'd Charms_ of their _Eternal Moi_.
If to the _craggy Top of Fame_ you rise,
Those who are _lab'ring after_ ne'er _despise_.
Nor those _above_ on _Honours_ dazling Seat } 250
Tho _disoblig'd_, with _sawcy Rudeness_ treat, }
_Revenge_ not always is _below the Great_. }
Their _Stronger Genius_ may o'er thine prevail:
_Wit, Power_ and _Anger_ join'd but rarely fail.
Tho _Eagles_ would not chuse to _hawk_ at _Flies_ }
They'd _snap_ 'em, should their _buzzing Swarms_ arise }
Importunate, and hurt their _Sun bright Eyes_. }
Nor should the _Muses Birds_ at _random_ fly,
And _strike_ at all, lest if they strike _they die_.
Why should we still be _lazily content_ 260
With thredbare _Schemes_, and nothing _new_ invent?
All _Arts_ besides _improve, Sea, Air_ and _Land_ }
Are every day with _nicer Judgment_ scan'd, }
And why should _this_ alone be at a _stand_? }
Or _Nature_ largely to the _Ancients_ gave
And little did for _younger Children_ save;
Or rather we _impartial Nature_ blame
To hide our _Sloth_, and cover o'er our _Shame_;
As _Sinners_, when their _Reason's_ drown'd in _Sense_,
Fall out with _Heav'n_, and quarrel _Providence_. 270
Yet should you our _Galenic Way_ despise,
And some _new Colbatch_ of the _Muses_ rise;
No _Quarter_ from the _College_ hope, who sit
_Infallible_ at _Will's_ and judg of _Sense_ and _Wit_:
Keep fair with these, or _Fame_ you _court_ in vain,
A strict _Neutrality_ at least _maintain_!
Speak, like the wise _Italian_, well of all;
Who knows into what _Hands_ he's doom'd to _fall_?
Write _oft_ and _much_, at _first_, if you'd _write well_,
For he who ne'er _attempts_ will ne'er _excel_;

John Addington Symonds (October 5, 1840 - April 19, 1893) was an English poet and literary critic. He was an early advocate of the validity of male love which included for him pederastic as well as egalitarian relationships, and which he would refer to as lamour de limpossible.
