Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Nicholas Ferrar: Two Lives by His Brother John and by Doctor Jebb For if that learning´s rooms to learned men Were as their heritage distributed, All this disordered thrust would cease. For when The fit were called, the unworthy frustrated, These would he shamed to seek, those to he unsought And, staying their turn, were sure they should be sped. Then would our drooping academies, brought Again in heart, regain that reverend hand Of lost opinion, and no more be thought Th´ unnecessary furnish of the land; Nor (discouraged with their small esteem) Confused, irresolute and wavering stand. Caring not to become profound, but seem Contented with a superficial skill, Which for a slight reward enough they deem, When th´ one succeeds as well as th´ other will;: Seeing shorter ways lead sooner to their end, And others´ longer travels thrive so ill. Then would they only labour to extend Their now unsearching spirit beyond these bounds Of others´ powers, wherein they must be penn´d, As if there were besides no other grounds: And set their bold plus ultra far without The pillars of those axioms age propounds.
