UT when I plead, she bids me play my part; 
And when I weep, she says tears are but water; 
And when I sigh, she says I know the art; 
And when I wail, she turns herself to laughter; 
So do I weep and wail, and plead in vain, 
While she as steel and flint doth still remain.

— Spenser. 
HEN in a kiss she breath’d her various arts The stare for strangeness, fit for scorn the frown, 
Of trifling prettily with wounded hearts; For decent yielding, looks declining down; 
A mind for love, but still a changing mind, The practic’d languish where well-feign’d desire 
The lisp affected, and the glance design’d, Would own its melting in a mutual fire; 
The sweet confusing blush, the secret wink, ‘ Gay smiles for comfort, April showers to move 
The gentle, swimming walk, the courteous sink, And all the nature all the art of love. 
—Parnell, 
HERE’S danger in the dazzling eye, 
That woos thee with its witching smile, 
Another, when thou art not by, 
Those beaming looks would fain beguile. 
—Mrs. Osgood, 
OR such are the airs Yet a partial neglect 
Of these fanciful fairs, Soon takes an effect, 
They think all our homage a debt; And humbles the proudest coquette.
