He talk’d of Women with unworthy Mind,
As if they all were wickedly inclin’d;
Spinster or married, he declar’d, not one
Could his Addresses and Advances shun,
And all the difference he could ever trace
Between the Girls in Credit and Disgrace 90
Was, that the former were demure and tried,
What their free Sisters never fear’d, to hide.
“Such are his Manners; such I fear his Life—
And can he merit Virtue for a Wife?”
