O FICKLE females, ever you're the same;

A woman's a woman, both in mind and name

Some fair we find, and some unlike the dove,

But CONSTANCY'S the highest charm of love.

YE prudes, for ever doubt of full success;

Don't boast at all: too much you may profess,

How good soever your design may be,

Not less is ours, you easily may see;

The MATRON'S tale is not beyond belief:

To entertain, our object is in chief.
