help me analyze this verse by Alexander Pope:
FROM THE ESSAY OF MAN:
1. Hope springs eternal in the human breast:
Man never is but always to be blest.
Epistle 11. 95-96
2. Vice is a monster of so frightful mien,
As to be hated needs but to be seen;
Yet seen too oft, familiar with her face,
We first endure, then pity, then embrace.
Ibid., 11. 217-220
3. Honor and shame no condition rise;
Act well your part, there all the honor lies.
Epistle IV, 11. 193-194
4. A wit's a feather, and a chief a rod;
An honest man is the noblest work of God.
Ibid. 11. 247-248
