Some squire, perhaps, you take delight to rack, Whose game is whisk, whose treat a toast in sack; Whose laughs are hearty, though his jests are coarse, And loves you best of all things—but his horse.

To Martha Blount.

All nature is but art, unknown to thee;
All chance, direction, which thou canst not see;
All discord, harmony not understood;

All partial evil, universal good.

G. W. Leibnitz, 1646.

Essay on Man.

Now Europe's laurels on their brows behold,
But stained with blood, or ill exchanged for gold.
Oh, wealth ill-fated! which no act of fame
E'er taught to shine, or sanctified from shame!
What greater bliss attends their close of life?
Some greedy minion or imperious wife.

Essay on Man.

And trust me, dear! good humour can prevail, When airs, and flights, and screams, and scolding fail. Beauties in vain their pretty eyes may roll;

Charms strike the sight, but merit wins the soul.

Rape of the Lock.

For forms of government let fools contest;
Whate'er is best administered is best:
For modes of faith let graceless zealots fight;
His can't be wrong whose life is in the right.

Essay on Man.

Heroes are much the same, the point's agreed,
From Macedonia's madman to the Swede;
The whole strange purpose of their lives, to find
Or make an enemy of all mankind!

Charles XII. of Sweden, 1682.
