Poetry in the library

I'm working on a poetry assignment in the library. The poem I'm taking for inspiration is Alexander Pope's "An Essay on Man, in Four Epistles". Here is the first part - the poet and his friend St. John are going to explore the relation of man to the universe and to God.

An Essay on Man: Epistle I

BY ALEXANDER POPE

To Henry St. John, Lord Bolingbroke

Awake, my St. John! leave all meaner things 

To low ambition, and the pride of kings. 

Let us (since life can little more supply 

Than just to look about us and to die) 

Expatiate free o'er all this scene of man; 

A mighty maze! but not without a plan; 

A wild, where weeds and flow'rs promiscuous shoot; 

Or garden, tempting with forbidden fruit. 

Together let us beat this ample field, 

Try what the open, what the covert yield; 

The latent tracts, the giddy heights explore 

Of all who blindly creep, or sightless soar; 

Eye Nature's walks, shoot folly as it flies, 

And catch the manners living as they rise; 

Laugh where we must, be candid where we can; 

But vindicate the ways of God to man. 

There is nothing like the pleasure of a sharpened pencil. 

The library is named after me.
