Take it for granted, in a general way,

The more you weep for men, the more you may. 160

Save your resources; for, though now you cry

With good effect, you may not by and by.

It is a knack; and there are those that weep

Without emotion, that a man may sleep;

Others disgust—’tis genius, not advice,

That will avail us in a thing so nice.

If you should love him, you have greater need

Of all your care, and may not then succeed.
