Order is Heaven's...
Vendor: DRAMATISTS
Order is Heaven's first law; and this confessed,
Some are, and must be, greater than the rest,
More rich, more wise; but who infers from hence
That such are happier, shocks all common sense.

-- Alexander Pope, (May 21 1688-1744), English poet; He is remembered as a major satirist of Augustan age; wrote The Rape of the Lock, 1714 and Moral Essays, 1731-35.
