[f]or As Socrates Says That A Wise

Yet If Strict Criticism Should Till Frown On Our Method, Let Candor And Good Humor Forgive What Is Done To The Best Of Our Judgment, For The Sake Of Perspicuity In The Story And The Delight And Entertainment Of Our Candid Reader.

The Loss Of Liberty Which Must Attend Being A Wife Was Of All Things The Most Horrible To My Imagination.

I Was Amongst The Virtues Like The Great Turk In His Seraglio Of Women, And I Chose To Dwell With That Virtue Which Looked The Fairest In My Eyes And Gave Me At That Season Most Pleasure. In Short, I Made Wives Of Them: I First Admired Them, Then Made Them My Own Property, And If They Would Not Submit To My Will, I Again Turned Them Off And Divorced Them.

[allegory] Is A Flight By Which The Human Wit Attempts At One And The Same Time To Investigate Two Objects, And Consequently Is Fitted Only To The Most Exalted Geniuses.

But In All Things Whether We Shall Make Only A Due Use Of The Liberties We Have Asked, Is Left Entirely To The Judicious Reader To Decide.
