Very well, indeed, sir You men
are convinced OF the power of hattory
upon us, but do not suspect US of
using your weapon against yourselves.
Hence our success. When we cover
you with iulsome praise, you fancy il
il the bias of our affection for you,
Therefore you deem us persons Of
taste, discrimination, appreciation
and character, and all because we
have told you what glorious fellows
you are.
Pshaw, you couldn't make men
of sense believe such stuff You
have had an unfortunate experience
Of eur sex. You appear 10 deem us
all coxcombs or fools.
