The Woman Who Is Resolved To Be

I Follow A More Easy, And, In My Opinion, A Wiser Course, Namely--to Inveigh Against The Levity Of The Female Sex, Their Fickleness, Their Double-dealing, Their Rotten Promises, Their Broken Faith, And, Finally, Their Want Of Judgment In Bestowing Their Affections.

A Father May Have A Child Who Is Ugly And Lacking In All The Graces, And The Love He Feels For Him Puts A Blindfold Over His Eyes So That He Does Not See His Defects But Considers Them Signs Of Charm And Intelligence And Recounts Them To His Friends As If They Were Clever And Witty.

I Want You To See Me Naked And Performing One Or Two Dozen Mad Acts, Which Will Take Me Less Than Half An Hour, Because If You Have Seen Them With Your Own Eyes, You Can Safely Swear To Any Others You Might Wish To Add.

Heaven's Help Is Better Than Early Rising.

Let Me Leap Out Of The Frying-pan Into The Fire; Or, Out Of God's Blessing Into The Warm Sun.
