"Amazed, confused, its fate unknown,The world stood trembling at Jove's throne;While each pale sinner hung his head,Jove, nodding, shook the heavens and said:'Offending race of human kind,By nature, reason, learning, blind;You who through frailty stepped aside,And you who never err'd through pride;You who in different sects were shamm'd,And come to see each other damn'd;(So some folk told you, but they knewNo more of Jove's designs than you.)The world’s mad business now is o’er,And I resent your freaks no more;I to such blockheads set my wit,I damn such fools—go, go, you're bit!’”
