CXXII.
Now Horace says, 'tis proper to parsue A middle course in all things, as the best ; And, doubtless, it is fitting so to do In this great matter as in all the rest : Consider women with impartial eye, As neither wholly good nor wholly evil ; Not wholly sprung from hell, nor di )pt from sky.
Not wholly angel, and not wholly devil.
