[How is the world deceiv'd, by noise, and show!]
How is the world deceiv'd, by noise, and show!Alas! how diff'rent, to pretend and know!
Like a poor, high-way brook, pretence runs loud
Bust'ling, but shallow, dirty, weak, and proud:
While, like some nobler stream, true knowledge glides,
Silently strong, and its deep bottom hides.
