An Oration in Praise of Ignorance, delivered at the
Commencement in the University of Pennsylvania, July 4,
1781, . . . [3 columns of text.  At bottom of 3rd column:]
Since then all knowledge is at best but vain,
Since it not lessens but increases pain;
It is most evident, we may conclude,
That in shear ignorance consists all good;
. . . [4 more lines of verse]
