THE RULE OF RAPACITY THE robber sea-kings' rule left traces here, Though not in mouldering cairns along our coast; Our Danes to-day in legal rapine rear The Raven plundering with protecting host.
234 QUATRAINS THE PROFLIGATE OF KINDNESS YQU'D dwell respected? hold yourself aloof, Nor spread your cloak too freely for your friend; The kindest hearts win ever most reproof, And earn the ass's nettles in the end.
TRAITS OF WOMEN FLOUT her who loves you and she grows more fond; Yield to her whims she... will your grace despise; She has no magnanimity beyond Her gift of patience and her partial eyes.
THE INVINCIBLE SEX THERE is no armor 'gainst a woman's eyes; Excalibur could not foil her dextrous wit; And when her tears join forces with her sighs The doughtiest heroes are the hardest hit.
THE CURSE OF THE COQUETTE THERE is no fool, however wise he be, Like him, the pensioner of a woman's smile; No tyrant lives so dead to ruth as she Who pillories hearts and poisons faith with guile.
DOUBLE QUATRAINS 235 ARTIFICIAL REFINEMENT THE hot-house nurtured woman more and more Would make men slaves, her bears to dance at will ; Our Ninons know their business to the core, While o'er-exacting prudes die virgins still.
