Great ill is an achievement of great powers:
Plain Sense but rarely leads us far astray.
Reason the means, Affections choose our end;
Means have no merit, if our end amiss.
If wrong our hearts, our heads are right in vain;
What is a Pelham's head to Pelham's heart?
Hearts are proprietors of all applause.
Right ends and means make wisdom; worldly-wise
Is but half-witted, at its highest praise.
