Answer to the Resolve.
Whilst empty coxcombs blast a woman's fame,In every state, and every age, the same:
With their own folly pleas'd, each Fair they toast
And, where they least are happy, swear they're most;
No diff'rence marking, 'twixt the gay and lewd,
But dreaming, all, who fly, would be pursued:
60
Lost, to that reverence, love's soft lessons give;
Let this great Maxim be my passion's guide;
May I ne'er hope, where I am ne'er deny'd,
Nor gain a Woman, willing to be try'd.
