"Like untun'd golden strings all women are, Which long time lie untouch'd, will harshly jar. Vessels of brass oft handled, brightly shine; What difference betwixt the richest mine And basest mould, but use? ... Ah, simple Hero, learn thyself to cherish, Lone women like to empty houses perish. ... One is no number; maids are nothing then, Without the sweet society of men."
