From "An essay on Man":
These are excerpted lines from an essay by Alexander Pope:
"since life can little more supply
Than just to look around us and to die"
"Why Jove's satellites are less than Jove?"
"His faithful dog shall bear him company."
"For me kind Nature wakes her genial power,
Suckles each herb, and spreads out every flower;"
"From pride, from pride, our very reasoning springs;
Account for moral, as for natural things:
Why charge we Heaven in those, in these acquit?
In both, to reason right is to submit."
These lines were written in 18th century.
