Give what you will they never are content;
And to sum up their character at once,
No beast that haunts the forest for his prey
Is half so mischievous. —Anon.
The same.
Away, away with these female friends!
He whose embraces have encircled one,
Will own a monster has been in his arms;
Fell as a dragon is, fire-spouting like
Chimæra, like the rapid ocean-portent,
