""","Well, on the whole, then Prose must be my fate:
Wisdom (curse on it) will come soon or late.
There is a time when Poets will grow dull:
I'll e'en leave Verses to the Boys at school:
To Rules of Poetry no more confin'd,
I learn to smooth and harmonize my Mind ,
Teach ev'ry Thought within its bounds to roll,
And keep the equal Measure of the Soul.

Soon as I enter at my Country door,
My Mind resumes the thread it dropt before;
Thoughts, which at Hyde-Park-Corner I forgot,
Meet and rejoin me, in my pensive Grott.

There all alone, and Compliments apart,
I ask these sober questions of my Heart.
