It is the folly of too many to mistake the echo of a London coffee-house for the voice of the kingdom.
It is the folly of too many to mistake the echo of a London coffee-house for the voice of the kingdom.
Brutes find out where their talents lie A bear will not attempt to fly, A foundered horse will oft debate Before he tries a five barred gate. A dog by instinct turns aside Who sees the ditch too deep and wide, But man we find the only creature Who, led by folly, combats nature Who, when she loudly cries Forbear With obstinacy fixes there And where the genius least inclines, Absurdly bends his whole designs.
Men are happy to be laughed at for their humor, but not for their folly.
