Answer 3

"Much madness is divinest Sense
To a discerning Eye"
- Much of what people believe is based not on fact but what they wish to believe. It could make no sense what so ever in fact and be just madness but is believed as divine guidance.

"Much Sense ... handled with a chain"

What people don't understand frightens them. When you disagree with the majority, you are seen as something strange and threatening. If you agree you are accepted into the group as a sane and decent person.
