Eye Nature's walks, shoot folly as it flies,
And catch the manners living as they rise;
Laugh were we must, be candid where we can;
But vindicate the ways of God to man.

Alexander Pope

Learn to live well, or fairly make your will; you played, and loved, and ate, and drunk your fill: walk sober off; before a sprightlier age comes tittering on, and shoves you from the stage: leave such to trifle with more grace and ease, whom Folly pleases, and whose Follies please.

Alexander Pope
