EPILOGUE
TO
THE SAME.


A qualm of conscience brings me back again,

To make amends to you bespattered men.

We women love like cats, that hide their joys,

By growling, squalling, and a hideous noise.

I railed at wild young sparks; but, without lying,

Never was man worse thought on for high-flying.

The prodigal of love gives each her part,

And, squandering, shows at least a noble heart.
