Excerpt from The Blackberry Pickers 'T is hard to say if greater want of skill Appear in writing or in judging ill, But of the two, less dangerous is th' offence To tire our patience than mislead our sense. Some few in that, but numbers err in this, Ten censure wrong for one who writes amiss. Of all the causes which conspire to blind Man's erring judgment and misguide his mind, What the weak head with strongest bias rules, Is Pride, the never failing vice of fools. Whatever Nature has in worth denied She gives in large recruits of needful Pride. For as in Bodies, thus in Souls, we find What wants in blood and spirits, swelled with wind. Pride, where wit fails, steps in to our defence, And fills up all the mighty void of sense. If once right reason drives that cloud away, Truth breaks upon us with resistless day. Pope.
