Cursed be the verse, how well so e'er it flow,
That tends to make one worthy man my foe;
Gives vice a sanction, innocence a fear,
Or from the pale eyed virgin draws a tear. POPE.

Ambages: sed summa sequar fastigia rerum. VIRG ÆN.I.
— Pudet haec opprobria nobis,
Et dici poruisse, & non potuisse refelli. OVID.
