[[foreign: French]] Se quereller ou s'éviter le jour Sans joie a Table, et la nuit sans amour. Trembler toujours d'avoir une faiblesse Y succomber, ou combattre sans cesse; Tromper son maitre ou vivre sans espoir Dans les langueurs d'un importun devoir Gémir, secher, dans sa douleur profonde Un tel hymen est l'enfer de ce monde. [[/foreign]] Folly joined with wit produce that behaviour which we call absurdity; & Pope describes it admirably in these two lines A fool with more of wit than half mankind Too rash for thought, for action too refin'd. True bravery is sedate & inoffensive: if it refuses to submit to insults it offers none; begins no dispute enters into no needless quarrels; is above the little troublesome ambition to be distinguished every moment, it hears in silence, & replies with modesty, fearing no enemy & making none, & is [[addition]] as [[/addition]] much ashamed of insolence as of cowardice.---
