&c. by persons unable to verify the quotation, when challenged so to do.
I can point out where the first two lines may be found with some
variation. In _The Adventures of Five Hours_, a comedy translated from
the Spanish of Calderon, by Samuel Tuke, and {248} printed in the 12th
volume of Dodsley's _Old Plays_ (edit. 1827), in the 5th act (p. 113.),
the lines run thus:--

"He is a fool, who thinks by force or skill
To turn the current of a woman's will."

I should be glad if any one could inform me by whom the latter lines
were added, and where they may be found in print.

_Pity is akin to Love_.--Where are the following words to be met
with?--

"For Pity is akin to Love."

I have found very similar expressions, but never the exact words as
above.
