Grocott & Ward, comps. Grocott’s Familiar Quotations, 6th ed. 189-?.
Rake
Men, some to business, some to pleasure take;
But every woman is at heart a rake:
Men, some to quiet, some to public strife;
But every lady would be queen for life.
Pope.—Moral Essays, Epi. II. Line 215; and see his Silvia, a Fragment.
