"Cunno Opt. Min." is the title by which John Wilkes/Thomas Potter's parody on Alexander Pope's "The Universal Prayer" is known.
Pope's lines:
- Thou Great First Cause, least understood,
- Who all my sense confin'd
- To know but this, that Thou art good,
- And that myself am blind:
are subverted to:
- Thou first great Cause, least understood,
- Who all my Prick confined,
- To feel but this, that thou art good
- And that himself is blind.
