   Wit
   During the Renaissance wit was synonymous with intelligence and wisdom. During the 17th century it became more closely associated with fancy. One of the main themes of Pope's An  Essay on Criticism is wit and he concludes that:
   True wit is Nature to advantage dressed,
   What oft was thought, but ne'er so well expressed.
   Today wit is limited to intellectual humour. See fancy.
