"Not so the slave; oppress'd with secret care, / He sinks the hapless victim of despair; / Or, doom'd to torments that might even move / The steely heart, and melt it into love; / Till worn with anguish, with'ring in his bloom, / He falls an early tenant of the tomb!"

"These modern Sapphos are conceited creatures, / They sport their thoughts as others do their features; / These but coquette it with a different part, / And seize the head, while others charm the heart."
