But as "there's safety" grafted in the number

"Of counsellors," for men,—thus for the sex

A large acquaintance lets not Virtue slumber;

Or should it shake, the choice will more perplex—

Variety itself will more encumber.[LY]'Midst many rocks we guard more against wrecks—

And thus with women: howsoe'er it shocks some's

Self-love, there's safety in a crowd of coxcombs.
