Virtuous and vicious ev'ry man must be,
Few in th' Extreme, but all in the Degree:
The Rogue and Fool by fits is fair and wise,
And ev'n the best by fits what they despise,
'Tis but by  we follow Good or Ill,
For, Vice or Virtue,  directs it still;
Each Individual seeks a sev'ral goal:
But HEAV'N'S great view is  and that the WHOLE:
That counter-works each Folly and Caprice;
That disappoints th' Effect of ev'ry Vice:
That, happy Frailties to all ranks apply'd,
Shame to the Virgin, to the Matron Pride,
Fear to the Statesman, Rashness to the Chief,
To Kings Presumption, and to Crowds Belief.
That, Virtue's Ends from Vanity can raise,
Which seeks no int'rest, no reward but Praise;
And build on Wants, and on Defects of mind,
The Joy, the Peace, the Glory of Mankind.
