Final Jeopardy: The Beauty Myth
Identify the poem and the author for the following passage:
"With distant voice neglected virtue calls,
Less heard, and less the faint remonstrance falls;
Tired with contempt, she quits the slippery reign,
And pride and prudence take her seat in vain.
In crowd at once, where none the pass defend,
The harmless freedom, and the private friend.
The guardians yield, by force superior plied;
By interest, prudence; and by flattery, pride.
Here beauty falls betrayed, despised, distressed,
And hissing infamy proclaims the rest."
