About: Argument
"He'd undertake to prove, by force
Of argument, a man's no horse.

And that a Lord may be an owl,
A calf an Alderman, a goose a Justice,
And rooks, Committee-men or Trustees."

Say, fools for arguments use wagers."

And makes mere sots of magistrates;
The fumes of it invade the brain,
And make men giddy, proud, and vain."

"He who rules by moral force is like the pole star, which remains
in place while all the lesser stars do homage to it."
