    “Modesty, ‘tis a virtue not often found among poets, for almost every one of them thinks himself the greatest in the world.”

    “He saw, he wish’d, and to the prize aspir’d.
    Resolv’d to win, he meditates the way,
    By force to ravish, or by fraud betray;
    For when success a lover’s toil attends,
    Few ask, if fraud or force attain’d his ends.”
