If the heart of a man is depressed with cares, the mist is dispelled when a woman appears

Man may escape from rope and gun; Nay, some have outliv'd the doctor's pill: Who takes a woman must be undone, That basilisk is sure to kill

To cheat a man is nothing; but the woman must have fine parts, indeed, who cheats a woman

The fly that sips treacle is lost in the sweets, So he that tastes woman, woman, woman; He that tastes woman, ruin meets

'Tis woman that seduces all mankind, / By her we first were taught the wheedling arts.

I rage, I melt, I burn, / The feeble God has stabbed me to the heart.
