An Essay On Man After Alexander Pope An Essay On Man The Riddle Of The World



Know then thy God, presume not Man to scan,
the proper study of Mankind is Pan!
The wheel weal turns from fire to frying pan,
a vicious circle, plot another plan.
Sole fudge of truth, in endless error hurl'd:
sad story, jest and terror of doomed world!
