The Lady's Resolve

Whilst thirst of praise, and vain desire of fame, In every age, is every woman's aim; With courtship pleas'd, of silly toasters proud, Fond of a train, and happy in a crowd; On each poor fool bestowing some kind glance, Each conquest owing to some loose advance; While vain coquets affect to be pursu'd And think they're virtuous, if not grossly lewd; Let this great maxim be my virtue's guide; In part she is to blame that has been try'd— He comes too near that comes to be deny'd.
