But granting Matters should be spoke
By Method, rather than by Luck;
This may confine their younger Styles,
Whom  pedagogues at :
But never could be meant to tye
Authentic Wits, like You and I:
For as young Children, who are try'd in
Go-Carts, to keep their Steps from sliding;
When Members knit, and Legs grow stronger,
Make use of such Machine no longer;
But leap , and scout
On Horse call'd Hobby, or without:
So when at School we first declaim,
Old  walks us in a Theme,
Whose Props support our Infant Vein,
And help the Rickets in the Brain:
But when our Souls their Force dilate,
And Thoughts grow up to Wit's Estate;
In Verse or Prose, We write or chat,
Not Six-Pence Matter upon what.
