Classic Poem

The Poor in Wit or Judgment, like all Poor,
Revile, for having least, those who have more:
So 'tis the Critick's Scarcity of Wit
Makes him traduce them who have most of it.
Since to their Pitch himself he cannot raise,
He them to his mean Level would debase.
Acting like Demons, that would All deprive
Of Heav'n, to which themselves can ne'er arrive.
