A little learning is a dangerous thing;
Drink deep, or taste not the Perian spring;
There shallow droughts intoxicate the brain, And drinking largely sobers us again.
Fir'd at first sight with what the Muse imparts, in fearless youth we tempt the heights of arts, While from the bounded level of our mind, Short views we take, nor see the lengths behind; But more advanc'd, behold with strange surprise, New distant scenes of endless science rise!
