[At end of 3-column] An Oration in Praise of Ignorance,
delivered at the commencement in the University of
Pennsylvania, July 4th, 1781, . . .
  Since then all knowledge is at best but vain,
  Since it not lessens by encreases pain,
  It is most evident, we may conclude
  That in shear ignorance consists all good;
  . . . [4 more lines of verse]
