Imitation. From The French.
By Thomas Moore
With women and apples both Paris and Adam Made mischief enough in their day:-- God be praised that the fate of mankind, my dear Madam, Depends not on us, the same way. For, weak as I am with temptation to grapple, The world would have doubly to rue thee: Like Adam, I'd gladly take from thee the apple, Like Paris, at once give it to thee.
