"To the Vain."
There's but the twinkling of a star
Between a man of peace and war;
A thief and justice, fool and knave,
A huffing off'cer and a slave;
A crafty lawyer and a pickpocket,
A great philosopher and a block head;
A formal preacher and a player,
A learn'd physician and man-slayer.
Butler: Hudibras.
