Verse satire indeed is entirely our own.

We excuse our sloth under the pretext of difficulty.

The pretended admission of a fault on our part creates an excellent impression.

We must form our minds by reading deep rather than wide.

Our minds are like our stomaches; they are whetted by the change of their food, and variety supplies both with fresh appetite.

While we are making up our minds as to when we shall begin, the opportunity is lost.
