    Man only,--rash, refined, presumptuous Man--
    Starts from his rank, and mars Creation's plan!
    Born the free heir of nature's wide domain,
    To art's strict limits bounds his narrow'd reign;
    Resigns his native rights for meaner things,
    For Faith and Fetters, Laws and Priests and Kings.
