XII. Would Fate to me Belinda give ---

Among the Men, Coquets we find,
Who court by Turns all Women-kind;
And when they their Intents have gain'd,
Then you may see their Passion was feign'd.
But pray, shall we not then in lieu,
Who are gen'rally loving and true;
Be cautious how our Minds we place,
On so fickle a Creature's Face.
