  • Trace Science, then, with Modesty thy guide,
    First strip off all her equipage of Pride,
    Deduct what is but Vanity or Dress,
    Or Learning's Luxury or idleness,
    Or tricks, to show the stretch of the human brain
    Mere curious pleasure or ingenious pain.

Trace Science, then, with Modesty thy guide, First strip off all her equipage of Pride, Deduct what is but Vanity or Dress, Or Learning's Luxury or idleness, Or tricks, to show the stretch of the human brain Mere curious pleasure or ingenious pain. - Alexander Pope
