Women in London are like the rich silks; they are out of fashion a great while before they wear out.
Who is't that to woman's beauty would submit, And yet refuse the fetters of their wit?

I think a Play the best divertisement that wise men have: but I do also think them nothing so who do discourse so formallie about the rules of it, as if 'twere the grand affair of humane life.
