What can we, what can we poor Females do;
when Pressing, Teasing, Pressing, Teasing Lovers sue?
What can we, what can we poor, poor Fe-males do?

Fate affords no other way, but Denying, or Complying, but Denying, or Complying;

And resenting, or Consenting,
and Resenting, or consenting, does alike our Hopes be-tray.
