Q. Cicero, De mulierum levitate
From Poems on Several Occasions (1689)
Arts & Sciences
Commit a Ship unto the Wind
But not thy Faith to Woman-Kind,
For th' Oceans waving billows are
Safer than Woman's 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.
