The man who thinks that bitter pride alone. can guide him withught trought his mind is sick ? Answer: Know then thyself, presume not God to scan; The proper study of mankind is man. Placd on this isthmus of a middle state, A being darkly wise, and rudely great: With too much knowledge for the sceptic side, With too much weakness for the stoics pride, He hangs between; in doubt to act, or rest; In doubt to deem himself a god, or beast; In doubt his mind or body to prefer; Born but to die, and reasning but to err; Alike in ignorance, his reason such, Whether he thinks too little, or too much: Chaos of thought and passion, all confusd; Still by himself abusd, or disabusd; Created half to rise, and half to fall; Great lord of all things, yet a prey to all; Sole judge of truth, in endless error hurld: The glory, jest, and riddle of the world!
