To seem too learned, should take the male array;

A hog, due offering, to Sylvanus slay,

And, with the Stoic's privilege, repair

To farthing baths, and strip in public there.

Oh, never may the partner of my bed

With subtleties of logic stuff her head;

Nor whirl her rapid syllogisms round,

Nor with imperfect enthymemes confound.

Enough for me. If common things she know,

And boast the little learning schools bestow.
