Be hard at men.

A man of commonsense
Will not value a woman
The less for her reluctance,
At his instant advance
Or for no acceptance
Without a scrutiny,
For a matrimony;
Contrarily she being, he’ll hold
Her weak in commonsense
And low in estimate,
As, having but one cast
For her Life, she shall cast
That Life away at once,
And make matrimony
Mere a mockery
Like that she leapt in the dark.
Women, be hard at men.
