Which technique does Alexander Pope use in this excerpt from his poem "Essay on Man"?

Know, then, thyself, presume not God to scan;
The proper study of mankind is man.
Placed on this isthmus of a middle state,
A being darkly wise, and rudely great:
With too much knowledge for the sceptic side,
With too much weakness for the stoic’s pride,

caesura

enjambment

blank verse

open form
