Be to her virtues very kind;
Be to her faults a little blind;
Let all her ways be unconfined;
And clap your padlock — on her mind!

Additional quotes by Matthew Prior

Nobles and heralds, by your leave,
Here lies what once was Matthew Prior;
The son of Adam and of Eve:
Can Bourbon or Nassau claim higher?

Venus, take my votive glass;
Since I am not what I was,
What from this day I shall be,
Venus, let me never see.

That if weak women went astray,
Their stars were more in fault than they.

Be to her virtues very kind; Be to her faults a little blind; Let all her ways be unconfined; And clap your padlock — on her mind! - Matthew Prior
