Reflections; or Sentences and Moral Maxims — François de La Rochefoucauld

["And if in fact she takes a {"}Grande Passion{"}, It is a very serious thing indeed: Nine times in ten 'tis but caprice or fashion, Coquetry, or a wish to take the lead, The pride of a mere child with a new sash on. Or wish to make a rival's bosom bleed: But the {Tenth} instance will be a tornado, For there's no saying what they will or may do." {--Lord Byron, }Don Juan, canto xii. stanza 77.]
