PARTIAL FAME.
I
The sturdy Man if he in love obtains,In open pomp and triumph reigns;
The subtil Woman if she should succeed,
Disowns the honour of the deed.
II
Tho' He for all his boast, is forc'd to yield,Tho' She can always keep the field,
He vaunts His Conquest, She conceals Her Shame;
How Partial is the voice of Fame?
