Alexander Pope

Wretches hang that jurymen may dine.

To Kerke the narre, from God more farre.

The difference is as great between
The optics seeing as the objects seen.
All manners take a read more

The difference is as great between
The optics seeing as the objects seen.
All manners take a tincture from our own;
Or come discolor'd through out passions shown;
Or fancy's beam enlarges, multiplies,
Contracts, inverts, and gives ten thousand dyes.

Where round some mould'ring tow'r pale ivy creeps,
And low-brow'd rocks hang nodding o'er the deeps.

And low-brow'd rocks hang nodding o'er the deeps.

Divert her eyes with pictures in the fire.
