I’ll not gainsay them; it is not my cue;
I’ll leave them to their taste, no doubt the best;
An eye’s an eye, and whether black or blue,
Is no great matter, so ’tis in request;
’Tis nonsense to dispute about a hue—
The kindest may be taken as a test.
The fair sex should be always fair; and no man,
Till thirty, should perceive there’s a plain woman.
