Dryden.
Would the ladies correct their false taste in this particular;
let them accustom themselves a little more to books of all
kinds: let them give encouragement to men of sense and
knowledge to frequent their company: and finally, let them
concur heartily in that union I have projected betwixt the
learned and conversible wor1ds. They may, perhaps, meet with
more complaisance from their usual followers than from men of
learning; but they cannot reasonably expect so sincere an
affection: and, I hope, they will never be guilty of so wrong
a choice, as to sacrifice the substance to the shadow.
