ANG. 'Tis an unreasonable accusation that you lay upon our sex:
you tax us with injustice, only to cover your own want of merit.
You would all have the reward of love, but few have the constancy to
stay till it becomes your due. Men are generally hypocrites and
infidels: they pretend to worship, but have neither zeal nor faith.
How few, like Valentine, would persevere even to martyrdom, and
sacrifice their interest to their constancy! In admiring me, you
misplace the novelty.
The miracle to-day is, that we find
A lover true; not that a woman's kind.
