More from Lady Mary Wortley Montagu
The fruit that can fall without shaking, indeed is too mellow for me.
“To a Lady Making Love”
Let this great maxim be my virtue’s guide,—
In part she is to blame that has been tried:
He comes too near that comes to be denied.
Lady Mary Wortley Montagu on virtue
“The Lady’s Resolve” (1713)
