On Fate alone depends Success,
And Fancy, Reason over- rules,
Or why should Virtue ever miss
Reward, so often giv'n to Fools?

But who alone is born to please;

We choose but whom he first decrees.

Whom Lust controuls, and wild Desires direct;
The Reigns of Empire but such Hands disgrace,
Where Passion, a blind Driver, guides the Race.
