English Playwright, Dramatist and Poet

"The charms of women were never more powerful never inspired such achievements, as in those immortal periods, when they could neither read nor write."

"A man cannot in honour be exculpated, who, though the word Love never pass his lips, by such methods defrauds a woman of her heart!"
