把这一句，留给此刻的你

Books and the Man I sing, the first who brings The Smithfield Muses to the Ear of Kings. Say great Patricians! (since your selves inspire These wond’rous works; so Jove and Fate require) Say from what cause, in vain decry’d and curst, Still Dunce the second reigns like Dunce the first?

书和我歌唱的那个人，第一个把史密斯菲尔德的缪斯带到国王面前的人。说伟大的贵族!(因为是你们自己激发了这些愚蠢的行为;因此，爱和命运要求)说，从什么原因，徒劳的谴责和诅咒，仍然愚蠢的第二个统治像愚蠢的第一个?

— Alexander Pope 亚历山大·波普
