Should that soft Sex refuse the World to bless,
'Twould soon be turn'd into a Wilderness. A cursed Crow'd without all civil Rules, A Herd of Drinking, Cheating, Fighting Fools; Confusion, Madness would or'e spread the Stage, And Man would be Destroy'd in one short Age; Here Man must own, tho scarce without a Blush, They rather do excel than Equal us; As useful and more nimble are their Powers, Their Judgments sharp, and sooner ripe than ours: Yet foul Mouth'd Scribler, makes a publick Scorn, On whom our great Redeemer he was Born; But Sir! the Bays, they are so much their due; They'l wear, inspite of impudence and you; You are so hateful cruel and unjust, To Load that Sex, with ugly brand of Lust: _Those whome deserved Slights and losses vex, Invent new Sins, and throw 'em on that Sex; Whose thrifty wickedness the Sex forsakes, He on these beauteous Fields a_ Sodom _makes: He ne're assaults but where the Walls are slight, True Bullies will with none but Cowards fight. A vertuous Woman values fame too high, } To let such Beastly Slaves her Walls come nigh, } And that's the cause, he's now her Enemy: } When the White flag you see by them hung out. You then are wonderous daring bold and stout, When once you but discover those within, By their faint fire, have a low magazine. |
