Additional quotes by George Granville

Who to a woman trusts his peace of mind,
Trusts a frail bark, with a tempestuous wind.

She will, and she will not, she grants, denies,
Consents, retracts, advances, and then flies.

Mankind, from Adam, have been women's fools;
Women, from Eve, have been the devil's tools:
Heaven might have spar'd one torment when we fell;
Not left us woman, or not threatened hell.
