Excerpt from Elegant Extracts, Vol. 6: A Copious Selection of Instructive, Moral, and Entertaining Passages From the Most Eminent Poets

Oft, when the world imagine women stray, The sylphs through mystic mazes guide their way Through all the giddy circle they pursue, And old impertinence expel by new. What tender maid but must a victim fall To one man's treat, but for another' s ball? When Florio speaks, what virgin could withstand, If gentle Damon did not squeeze her hand? With varying vanities, from every part.
