VI.

If thou dost think thy knowledge good,

Thy intellect not slow,

Bethink thee of the multitude

Of things thou dost not know.

Why look on any from on high

Because thou knowest more?

Thou need'st but look abroad, to spy

Ten thousand thee before.

Wouldst thou in knowledge true advance

And gather learning's fruit,

In love confess thy ignorance,

And thy Self-love confute.
