Know Then Thyself, Presume Not God To Scan The Proper Study Of Mankind Is Man. Placed On This Isthmus Of A Middle State, A Being Darkly Wise, And Rudely Great: With Too Much Knowledge For The Sceptic Side, With Too Much Weakness For The Stoic'S Pride, He Hangs Between; In Doubt To Act, Or Rest; In Doubt To Deem Himself A God, Or Beast; In Doubt His Mind And Body To Prefer; Born But To Die, And Reas'Ning But To Err; Whether He Thinks To Little, Or Too Much; Chaos Of Thought And Passion, All Confus'D; Still By Himself, Abus'D Or Disabus'D; Created Half To Rise And Half To Fall; Great Lord Of All Things, Yet A Prey To All, Sole Judge Of Truth, In Endless Error Hurl'D; The Glory, Jest And Riddle Of The World.
