THE MAN-HATER, A SONG

What's Man, but a perfidious Creature,
Of an inconstant, fickle Nature,
Deceitful, and Conceited too,
Boasting of more than he can do?

Beware, ye heedless Nymphs, beware,
For Men will Lye, and Fawn, and Swear;
But, when they once have gain'd the Prize,
Good Heav'ns! How they will Tyranize!
