Genius Involves Both Envy And Calumny.

And Empty Heads Console With Empty Sound.

Men, Some To Business, Some To Pleasure Take; But Every Woman Is At Heart A Rake.

There Should Be, Methinks, As Little Merit In Loving A Woman For Her Beauty As In Loving A Man For His Prosperity; Both Being Equally Subject To Change.

Yet Graceful Ease, And Sweetness Void Of Pride, Might Hide Her Faults, If Belles Had Faults To Hide: If To Her Share Some Female Errors Fall, Look On Her Face, And You'll Forget 'em All.

Placed On This Isthmus Of A Middle State.
