“Not to admire is all the art I know
(Plain truth, dear Murray, needs few flowers of speech)—
To make men happy, or to keep them so”
(So take it in the very words of Creech)—
Thus Horace wrote we all know long ago;
And thus Pope quotes the precept to re-teach
From his translation; but had none admired,
Would Pope have sung, or Horace been inspired?
