Pt. 1
This Day, black Omens threat the brightest Fair
That e'er deserv'd a watchful Spirit's Care ;
Some dire Disaster, or by Force, or Slight,
But what, or where, the Fates have wrapt in Night.
Whether the Nymph shall break Diana's Law,
Or some frail China Jar receive a Flaw,
Or stain her Honour, or her new Brocade,
Forget her Pray'rs, or miss a Masquerade,
Or lose her Heart, or Necklace, at a Ball;
Or whether Heav'n has doom'd that Shock must fall…
Canto 3
For lo! the board with cups and spoons is crown'd,
The berries crackle, and the mill turns round.
On shining altars of Japan they raise
The silver lamp; the fiery spirits blaze.
From silver spouts the grateful liquors glide,
While China's earth receives the smoking tide.
At once they gratify their scent and taste,
And frequent cups prolong the rich repast…
2 1715 Pope, Alexander. The temple of fame. (London : Printed for Bernard Lintott, 1715).
These stopp'd the moon, and call'd th' unbody'd shades
To midnight banquest in the glimm'ring glades :
Made visionary fabrics round them rise ;
And airy spectres skin before our eyes ;
Of Talismans and Sigils knew the pow'r,
And careful watch'd the Planetary hour.
Superior, and alone, Confucius stood,
Who taught that useful science, to be good…
3 1729 Pope, Alexander. The dunciad : with notes variorum and the Prolegomena of Scriblerus. (London : Printed for Lawton Gilliver, 1729).
For eastward cast thine eye, from whence the Sun
And Orient Science their bright course begun
One god-like Monarch all that Pride confounds ;
He whose long wall the wand'ring Tartar bound ;
Heav'ns ! what a pile ! whole ages perish there.
And one bright blaze turns Learning into air…

4 1743 Pope, Alexander. Epistle II : to a lady, of the characters of women. (London : Printed for J. and P. Knapton, 1743).
Oh ! blest with Temper, whose unclouded ray
Can make tomorrow cheerful as today ;
She, who can love a Sister's charms, or hear
Sighs for a Daughter with unwounded ear ;
She, who ne'er answers till a Husband cools,
Or, if she rules him, never shows she rules ;
Charms by accepting, by submitting sways,
Yet has her humour most, when she obeys;
Let Fops or Fortune fly which way they will ;
Disdains all loss of Tickets, or Codille ;
Spleen, Vapours, or Smallpox, above them all,
And Mistress of herself, though China fall…
