SONG XIX. Help at Hand.

I

Take not a Woman's Anger ill;
But let this be your Comfort still,
That if one won't another will:
Tho' she that's Foolish does deny,
She that is wiser will comply;
And if 'tis but a Woman what care I?

II

Who'd, then, be damn'd to swear untrue,
And tremble, weep, and whine and woo,
As all our supple Coxcombs do?
All Women love it; and tho' this
Does sullenly refuse the Bliss,
Try but the next and you cann't miss.
