I'LL offer, and I'll -utter, 

 Because I'm proud; prid 

 The affectation of a pompous name. 

 Has oft set wits and heroes in a flame; 

 Volumes, and buildings, and dominions w 

 Are of the noble monuments of pride. 



QPITE of all the fools that pride ha» made. 



'Tis not on man a useless burthen laid: 

 Pride has ennobled some, and some disgraced: 

 It hurts not in itself, but as 'tis placed; 

 When right, its views know none but virtue's bound : 

 When wrong, it scarcely looks one inch around. 



I WILL from henceforth rather be myself. 



' Mighty, and to be fear'd, than my condition. 



Which hath been smooth as oil. soft as young down. 



.\nd therefore lost that title of respect 



Which the ])roud soul ne'er pays but to the proud.
