But chiefly be intent to get a hold

O’ the women’s minds: their endless Oh! and Ah!

So thousandfold,

In all its change, obeys a single law,

And, if with half a modest air you come,

You have them all beneath your thumb.

A title first must purchase their reliance,

That you have skill surpassing vulgar science;

Thus have you hold at once of all the seven ends,

Round which another year of labour spends.
