On The Same.
by Henry Fielding
A poem on the same theme as 'On A Lady, Coquetting With A Very Silly Fellow.'


WHILE men shun Oulus as a fool,
   Dames prize him as a beau;
What judgment form we by this rule?
   Why this it seems to shew.
Those apprehend the beau's a fool,
   These think the fool's a beau.
