    He that fights and runs away,
    Will live to fight another day;
    For he that runs may fight again,
    Which he can never do that's slain.
    Deeper to wound she shuns the fight;
    She drops her arms, to gain the field:
    Secures her conquest by her flight:
    And triumphs when she seems to yield.

A man so various, that he seem'd to be
Not one, but all mankind's epitome;
Stiff in read more

A man so various, that he seem'd to be
Not one, but all mankind's epitome;
Stiff in opinions, always in the wrong.
Was everything by starts, and nothing long;
But in the course of one revolving moon,
Was chymist, fiddler, statesman, and buffoon.

And on her lover's arm she leant,
And round her waist she felt it fold,
And far read more

And on her lover's arm she leant,
And round her waist she felt it fold,
And far across the hills they went,
In that new world that is the old.
