To The Same; Having Blamed Mr. Gay For His Severity On Her Sex
by Henry Fielding (1707–1754)
LET it not Celia's gentle heart perplex That Gay severe hath satiriz'd her sex; Had they, like her, a tenderness but known, Back on himself each pointed dart had flown. But blame thou last, in whose accomplish'd mind The strongest satire on thy sex we find.
