THE GENTLEMAN's Answer.
Whilst pretty fellows think a woman's fameIn ev'ry state and ev'ry age the same;
With their own folly pleas'd, the fair they toast,
And where they least are happy, swear they're most;
No difference making 'twixt coquet and prude;
And her that seems, yet is not really lewd;
While thus they think, and thus they vainly live,
And taste no joys but what their fancy give:
94
May I ne'er hope, though I am ne'er deny'd;
Nor think a woman won, that's willing to be try'd.
