Excerpt from Elegant Extracts, Vol. 6: A Copious Selection of Instructive, Moral, and Entertaining Passages From the Most Eminent Poets
Oft, when the world imagine women stray, The sylphs through mystic mazes guide their way Through all the giddy circle they pursue, And old impertinence expel by new. What tender maid but must a victim fall To one man's treat, but for another' s ball? When Florio speaks, what virgin could withstand, If gentle Damon did not squeeze her hand? With varying vanities, from every part.

The Rape of the lock.
Canto 1.
What dire offence from amorous causes springs,
What mighty contests rise from trivial things,
I sing - Tills verse to Caryl, Muse! is due:
This, ev'n Belinda may vouchsafe to view:
Slight is the subject, but not so the praise,
If she inspire, and he approve my lays.
Say, what strange motive, goddess! could compel
A well-bred lord t' assault a gentle belle?
O say what stranger cause, yet unexplor'd,
Could make a gentle belle reject a lord? in tasks so bold can little men engage, And in soft bosoms dwells such mighty rage?
Sol through white curtains shot a timorous ray,
And op'd those eyes that must eclipse the day.
