A man prizes only what he has fought for. No one knows this better than a woman. This is why
A woman's capitulation she always makes to appear as a capture. And
Where there are no defense works, a woman will erect them.
Foolish that man who does not storm entrenchments. For
Resistance on the part of a woman is a wall which a man is expected to leap. His agility is the measure of her approbation.

Arouse a woman's interest, and you arouse much. But
Having failed, disappear. Yet
It takes very many futile attempts to make a failure. At the same time,
Importunity is an inferior weapon.
