The sturdy man, if he in love obtains, <br />In open pomp and triumph reigns: <br />The subtle woman, if she should succeed, <br />Disowns the honour of the deed. <br />Though he for all his boast is forced to yield, <br />Though she can always keep the field, <br />He vaunts his conquests, she conceals her shame: <br />How partial is the voice of Fame!<br /><br />Matthew Prior<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/partial-fame/
