Q. Cicero de Mulierum levitate. Translat
Translated by Charles Cotton (1689) · From Poems on Several Occasions (1689)

Commit a Ship unto the Wind;
But not thy Faith to Women kind;
For th'Oceans waving Billows are
Safer than Womans Faith by far.
No Woman's Good, and if there be,
Hereafter, such a Thing as she:
'Tis by I know not what of Fate,
That can from Bad, a Good Create.
